Hmm, in our family we have "Christmas" a few days after the real Christmas. Allows one to take advantage of empty stores, 50% discounts and you miss the horrifying experience of a mall just before Christmas.

 

Anyways, that means my schedule looks as follows:

 

24th: Argus route + a few extra kms; 115km

25th: Cape Town - Constantia - Houtbay - Camps Bay route: 45km

26th: Cape Town - Constantia - Houtbay - Camps Bay route: 45km

27th: Argus route + a few extra kms; 115km

28th: Rest day / "Christmas" shopping

29th: Cape Town - Fish Hoek - Chappies - Camps Bay route: 70km

30th: Rest day / "Christmas"

31st: Argus route + a few extra kms; 115km

 

Total = 505km

If i was on my own or just with the GF i could attempt (but i will loose a day traveling back to JHB) but my dad will be with and my uncle. Now while my dad may be a serious cyclist and ready to ride the trails, he is also more than willing to make beer o'clock time an "AM" thing while on holiday. How could i not help out in that challenge.
