Thanks avalanche, will go check it out... so far my favourite/worst is through the Hyperama from 14th, left into Golf Club Terrace then right into Panorama drive... sheesh it kills me.... Panorama from the Jim Fouche side is also a bugger, wonder if anyone has the net gain and gradient stats?

How do you calculate that?

Yes that route through Hyperama, golf club and then Panorama would be a killer - never actually ridden it like that.  And from the Jim Fouche side as well. 

I dont have the stats and not sure how to calculate it.  Think it would be easier to get someone with a garmin or polar to ride it and post the profile.

Ok, I have a garmin, what about meeting in the Hyperama car park this Sunday at 7am (it's about an hours ride from my house to there)?

Will be doing Helshoogte x 3 on the weekend as punishment for not starting Klein Joostenberg.

 

Wait.  Which is worse?

 

Helshoogte x 3, or

Ou Kaapse Weg x 5

Was thinking this as I went for my first training session on Saturday morning up the Pumphouse in Gordon's Bay. Seems a bit like Westlake side of Ou Kaaps but three times as long and a much better view. Is certainly much harder than Hells and any hills I've done in Fun Rides.

 

So what is the meanest hill that you train on or have ridden in SA ?

 

 

Mosselbay area has some loooonngggg  hills.   Grootbrak hoogte about 4.5km.  Brandwag hoogte about the same.  Glentana is quite a killer....havn't done that one yet though.  And then we have Robinson Pass going from Mosselbay to Oudtshoorn and Outeniqua Pass from George to Oudtshoorn.

Do I have to do it with you or can I just point out directions? Smile

If you;re serious I guess I could skip my club ride...

 

Avalanche, you keen?

No I know the route and have ridden it a few times but not up Panorama. Just thought it would be a nice ride for Sunday and if anyone wants to join then please do.

Am a member of CycleLab but since I moved over this side (Constantia area) I mostly ride with some mates over this neck of the woods.... HPotgieter, K,Hill, Randforntein, Ontdekkers etc...

I live in Benoni, we don't have hillsUnhappy  No wonder I suffer so much.

 

When I am in the Cape, most certainly Visserhok - 1 km at 10% and Robison Pass outside Mosselbay.  Oh and the Swartbergpass when I am on my MTB - 16 km long, 1070 m ascent, max gradient of ? 13%
