Looking for some decent uphills

[fabs]

Hi Everyone.

 

I'm a roadie and looking for some decent uphills in and around JHB.

Is there anything like "suikerbossie" around here ?

 

Thanks

Northcliff Hill is awesome. Just on 5km.

I've found hills in my area by using Strava explore, Then filter the results on the climb bar at the top right to 4 and higher

Thanks guys, i'm not too familiar with Strava yet, but i'll put those places in the gps and will enjoy.

 

I'm quite close to sylvia pass, so i'll try that first.

Know the area around 14th avenue have some nice climbs, driving up there, but i'd be to scared to ride a bike up there with the traffic.

I trained for the jock a while ago found 4 big climbs in the area

• Northcliff steep but only 5 km- look for the segment stairway to heaven
  
• Krugersdorp mountain- starting from the 4 way stop at hendrik potgieter. Quite steep but iif you robertbroom the van ribeeck it ends up being a 9km climb
  
• The previous one just reverse- Coming from the sterfonteincaves, dont turn left onto the n14 continue straight, segment is called sterkfontein pain cave
  
• Hekpport climb imho the toughest of them all- ssegment is called hekpoort proper
  

Il link my strava ride which includes all these and a short ride with my wife in the cradle, unfortunatly my phone died at the last bit of the ride.
