I'm afraid not. I don't ride much in the south.

Try the D494 on the Hilton College Rd, 243m ascent in 2k's. Plus you can have some fun afterwards: My link

You can do that? I make it up to the rock on the left . Rest, cough, then to the robot and back down. Would love to know the gradient.

ok will keep a look out for you

i am checking on my polar, on the one ride, looks like a comaro ride + Pieter Ackroyd climbs, its 1.4km long and you ascend 118m in that distance

does that make sense?

[W@nna-BE]

here is a screen shot of that climb

[Blokman]

I Think that makes it 8.4%

Not sure if this has been established elsewhere...but are there any mtb Cat 1 climbs in Gauteng?  See a few Cat 2 like breedtsnek but cant source a Cat 1?

Just a short hop across the border, there are a few HC and Cat 1 climbs in Lesotho
