Training ride in Hermanus

[katz201]

Spending the weekend with the family in Hermanus. I'm keen on going for an early morning training ride on the road bike.

 

Any routes you can suggest in the area?

Road bike is kind of limited - Houhoek or Kleinmond. The locals don't recommend the road out to Stanford.

Thanks! That will be option A then!

 

Anyone know what the Hemel & Aarde road to Caledon is like?

Anyone know what the Hemel & Aarde road to Caledon is like?

When I last rode it in early January it was tar for about +-10 km from the traffic light at Sandbaai. It includes one good hill, but all in all more MTB territory up that way.

 

I also heared on the news that the Western Cape Minister of Transport announced that the entire Hemel & Aarde Rd will be tarred but I do not know if that has happened in the meantime.

Don't know about Road but we did a mtb race there called the Babilonstoring.started and finished in Hemel en Aarde.

Tested my sense of humour quite severely.Af ***

At least we got Perlemoen on rice afterwards
