What is the meanest Hill you train on?

[_Daemon_]

 

Had the same dis a few months ago.

Hans Stijdom PTA East - 3 km on 3.x%

Hills near my home (all in Silverton area): 

5% for 600 meters

7.5% for 450 meters

9% for 400 meters

then a 4.5% for 1.5 km.

 

That is some of the hills I can ride...

 

Cois I am in the same area, lynnwood ridge, where is the 9% for 400m climb?

 

[ewep]

That's the one Mr M.  Must say that the views do make up for it.  But by the 4th, 5th or (heaven forbid, I hope Jelly Tot never sees this!) 6th one I don't really care!!!

Loveday street in muccelneak(how do you spell this suburb name) close to the post office tower.

O ja, sjeez, Mr M, I forgot about Sylvia's Pass!!!!!!

[MtbCpt]

Tokai mast: 10.5km, 800m ascent.

being "blessed" with living in the West Rand I have lots to choose from' date=' excluding Krugersdorp hill which is fine if you settle into a rhythm.... I'd say, in no particular order..

Doreen ave;

Golf club terrace, (but I frequently lose my bottle and turn right at Clover )

Wilgerood and finally William Nicoll past Flora Clinic..

 

and I still can;t climb for ****...

Jip, Krugerdorp is full of them.

 

Wonder how Krugersdorp Hill is going to change (car volume wise) with the new Casino being opened there?

 

That is a very good point, been watching that thing go up at a rapid rate... but for me the biggest danger is getting there. bloody Hendrik Potgieter, scares me sh1tless...... too many near misses

O ja' date=' sjeez, Mr M, I forgot about Sylvia's Pass!!!!!! [/quote'] Sylvia with the Kallenbach detour!!!

[Delgado]

Comaro Road hill' date=' Bassonia, south of Johannesburg!!! and the one off Orpen street near Builders warehouse & The Glen shopping centre!![/quote'] What about Impala??

[ewep]

Shaunh, forgot about the Builders one.  Although it's not that steep the change in gradient and the distance gets to me!

 

That's the one Delgado!  And when we doing this Impala Rd?

 

[Delgado]

It gets a touch hairy with the cars there bud!!

For the road: Sylvia's Pass from Bruma side gets the heart rate up a bit, and so does 1st Avenue Edenvale going south. For the MTB: it's got to be the track behind Dowerglen up toward Greenstone shopping centre.

Waar presies is die bult? Ek oefen so nou en dan in Gordonsbaai.

I think the hills coming back towards Johannesburg along Robert Broom are the hardest, but that's probably becuase they come at the end of my ride. Doreen is hard, but it's very short. Breedtsnek is probably the hardest MTB climb around.

webs, it's the road to the top of the Dam entrance as you come out of GB on the Rooi Els road. Just before the last house on the left, at GB
