Its called building base or base training man...

You gotta start believing in the training concept.

It can make you stronger on the bike, for sure.

It's actually Reddam House School not Rescam

The long and medium routes start with a neutral zone to the circle on Steenberg Road. Cyclists will then pass the bottom of Ou Kaapse Weg before tackling Boyes Drive and pedalling through Fish Hoek, keeping next to the sea before turning right to climb over Black Hill.

At the bottom of Black Hill, the 85 km riders will turn left to Kommetjie over Slangkop and pedal through Misty Cliffs, past the entrance to Cape Point and through Simon’s Town. Some 600m past Red Hill follows a mean climb up to the Maritime Reaction Squadron (caution: sharp left corner). From there cyclists pedal through Da Gama Park and go down to the Main Road before tackling Black Hill a second time.

Once through the Sun Valley four-way intersection, cyclists will detour left to Noordhoek before climbing Ou Kaapse Weg for the hill-top finish.

 

The 30 km route will go straight at the Sun Valley intersection before turning left to Noordhoek before climbing Ou Kaapse Weg for the hill-top finish.

There is a neutral zone from the finish line to the venue.

I'm keen for the ride on the 27th. Just starting to train again so it'll be a good day of suffering

Oh good grief! I thought I was reading the same thread as last year. Is deja vu the same as voodoo?

I get driven (or ridden) to it, Slowbee. Another of 'Dale's "Training" Rides" (aka mad A-group riders out on a leisurely but still twice-as-fast-as-anyone-else sight-seeing) and I'll be snorting up the Chrystal Meth (do you snort CM? Not you personally. Does one snort CM?)) faster than a drug mule riding a Dogma can get it to me in her dreads

well if you ain't blinking out the salty tears, the only sight you should be seeing is the brand/sponsor logo of the guy-in-front-of you's bib shorts...if you can see anything else you ain't close enough Mr Kwaffee Le Turbo sir!

I would love to but unfortunately I'll be in Knysna whilst 'Dale makes you all cry like little girlies sucking your thumbs halfway up military hill on the recce ride.
