Speed Racer Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 Next Sunday sees us visiting the hallowed ground of SBR for some pre-Jock training. Meeting at the car park at 7am. Probably do one or two laps depending on the group. Any Hubbers keen on joining the fun?

Agteros Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Fair enough. Have you done three laps?Not yet, but doing the Jock. Two laps at SBR should give enough ascent All depends on the pace, and the ice cream! Saying that, I am a full 20 minutes behind the Strava leader for the 57km loop Edited July 1, 2012 by RoboCyclist
TheCuban Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Still intimidated by SBR but will be there (most likely 9am). Think after the Jock, wont be so bad doing SBR.

Wonder Woman Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Agh Suikerbos is great training for the Jock but the Jock in some senses isn't as steep so seems easier. My little opinion. But if you aren't fit, both will hurt like hell
Zatek Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 This will be my 1st time at SBR.Where is the entrace? Driving on the N17 and turning left at Nigel then Heidelberg or is there a better routeentrace for me?

Go about 10km on R550 and turn left at the sign for the Protea Hotel. We'll meet in main car park in the reserve.
