Velouria Posted February 19, 2019 Share Do you possibly have more info on this route ? May well be the best reason for many to join the Bottelary club ....This is my mate's route into Technopark from Protea Hoogte: ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V18 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Really enjoying this year's commute so far. Kiddie is now going to preschool about 2km from my house en route to work. Wife (with car) drops him off with fevastar seat and helmet for me to pick him up after work on my way back. 2y olds aren't the best storytellers...but damn he gets excited to give me the lowdown theretin front on his yellow foam throne. Best 5min of my day. Everyday. Flemish Lion, ChrisF, Bateleur1 and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V18 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Also. Last year my question was whether the schwalbe marathon plus tyres are worth the extra weight/rolling resistance. In short. Yes. Think I'd have more luck puncturing permatubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisF Posted February 21, 2019 Share Just realised once again, there is no better way to start the day !!

ABrooks Posted February 21, 2019 Share This is my mate's route into Technopark from Protea Hoogte: Screenshot 2019-02-19.pngThese are the two routes I use to get into Stellenbosch Bottelary - Devon valley road And, Kuilsrivier - Polkedraai into Stellenbosch Both routes are about 27km and I don't need a trail permit for these two roads.

Albatross Posted February 28, 2019 Share So the morning commutes are starting to cool down, what do you Cape Town commuters wear to beat the chill and possible rain shower? I'm thinking about some new gloves and a waterproof backpack I've seen.https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/product/capestorm-dry-backpack/4182https://www.evobikes.co.za/apparel/cycling-gloves/molon-labe-convect-padded-mtb-winter-gloves-neon-yellow.htmlI've already got some leg warmers and a Lumo First Accent jacket.

Hairy Posted February 28, 2019 Share I just grow my chest hair! Bad jokes aside, layers, layers and layers. Usually flipping cold in the morning and nice on the way home, so just remove or add layers for the occation and get a gillet and light weight windbreaker that can hopefully also act as a rain shell. A rain shell, or water proof back pack is a must! Long finger gloves are essential, if it gets really cold I have a pair of thicker gloves, but I also just wear a pair of nitrile gloves under my gloves if it is really cold and wet. Leg warmers, never used them.So the morning commutes are starting to cool down, what do you Cape Town commuters wear to beat the chill and possible rain shower?
