We going to spend some time in the Franschhoek - Helshoogte - Pniel wine-lands during October and look forward to do some cycling.. tired of the hills and dry landscape and wind howling through the Cradle... I scanned the forums but not seen any recent posts of cycling safety on the major roads surrounding Frranschoek... I have noticed the R45 from Paarl to Franschhoek have narrow sections before getting to the T-junction and turn off to Pniel. And yes I am aware that there are major hills in the area... Will greatly appreciate advice from the local roadies on general safety and road conditions ... thanks.
