Old thread revival warning alert...

 

Silly question, this ride starts and ends at Van Gaalens, where is the turnaround point? At the top of the mountain?

 

That particular ride yeah, turn around at the top of the Nek, I missed the left turn going back, which is why the end is different.

it's basically 100km to the top and back and about 110km if you go down the other side to the shabeen.

Awesome, thanks. I think we will try the Shebeen loop then...

 

You've done it more times since then?

Yeah i've probably done it a few times, but not recently.

Apparently it's quite eroded these days.

 

This wasn't only half way down the back

Nice... I'm signed up to do a gran fondo (100 miler) early next year so looking at training possibilities and options. Only done the 'normal up and over Breedts, which is about 60 clicks I think.

Did it on Saturday, threw in Oom Piets and Greek Church. Was 123km and a super ride.

 

Is quite eroded and washed out near the top of Breedts but still rideable...
