Fast Decend


Johan Bornman

Recommended Posts

Last week I had the opportunity to drive over Franschoek pass, following a good cyclist on the decend down into Pose Town itself. He managed to do 80kph at times, according to the speedo in my mighty rental Hyundai Atos Prime GLX. Nice cornering, whoever that was.

However, this decend is in a different class.

 

 

If you have the bandwidth, do yourself a favour and check it out.

 

Pantani, it is not for you, the guy crosses the white line a few times.

My fastest was 91kph at the Graskop Hill Climb champs... On Tiaan Kannemeyers wheel... When things went up... Tiaan disappeared in to the distance.

Imagine?! That would be impressive!! But now they've got that friggin busy centre at the bottom of the steep part...I suppose it would be a good way to find God again, or inner peace...the sound of one hand clapping!!
