Privateer Switchback Doping Tour

Hi All.

 

On Monday, we took a group of 20 - 25 guys and girls on a new kind of cycling Tour. Here at Privateer we have a switchback problem. We love them. We hunt them. We dope on these beautiful pieces of road in our back gardens. In fact, we like them so much, we go out looking for the roads less ridden.

This road is off the Cape Cobra route, between Simonstown and Glencairn - the military climb, aka 'The Wall' - about 20% near the top.

 

Pete Calitz who appears in the blog post has 4th place on Strava on this climb, Charles Keey has the top spot and the Colonel is in 2nd, all Cobra times.

Rhodes drive is about half way up suikerbossie, take a left and follow a few turns and it pops you out at the top of llundudno - with some great views. Im not sure of the other but also looks very cool
