The Big Bike Beat Down Hill Climb

[Marc Perel]

On Saturday Privateer are holding a really cool event called the Big Bike Beat Down.

 

"The Big Bike Beat Down is a gruelling 3.95km gravel climb rising 289m from Bokaap passed the Noon Gun and ending at the top of Signal Hill."

 

It promises to be properly taxing. Enter on the site and bring your big boy pants.

doable on a road bike?

 

It's doable for the strong men, or just fit your MTB pedals incase you need to port your bike up at 30% hairpins.

Is this a hipster race?

[Marc Perel]

If you are a hipster you're welcome to pull through,but don't cry when your hair gets out of place.

Sounds awesome.

Anyone want to organize a nice one for Pretoria?

Or JHB?

 

We should organise a Jozi vs Cape Town one. Same sort of height, same sort of surface...

[urbanninja]

Amped to bring the HURT on Saturday. Road bikes for panache.

There are a few roads going up to the Magalies ridge

 

1. Just north of Bremmer st

2. Otherside of the ridge towards Mooi Nooi side

 

They are not gravel but it could be good fun - even a dbl - bike/run for combined time.

I remember those areas - grew up in Pretoria.

 

Sounds a treat. Send us some photos and take us on a ride next time we are that way?
