As the racing forum is presently disabled I'm posting this here....

Anybody doing this ride on Saturday?  For the 2nd year in a row I managed to get flu the week before the event which is really cr#p!  The start of the ride is quite literally only 800m away from my house....smiley5.gif.  So I'll go stand at a suitable potential crash site on Papegaaiberg with my camera, I guess.smiley2.gif

...you are so right Rock, if not for the SantaCruz SL she bought from you this would not have been possible, the bike handles like a dream and if I hear her rave about it again before I get mine I like have to strangle hersmiley36.gif

if you want the profile, draw a zigzag line and there you have it. Lots of shortish very sharpish climbes. Up Down Up down..... I never know there could be so many climbs behind Pappegaaiberg.

Went for a ride on Papegaaiberg yesterday afternoon....was wasted after 30 minutes on the bike (I knew this was going to happen after the flu episode, but would I listen to myself? Noooooo...smiley18.gif).  Reminded myself that this ride starts with a real bastard of a little climb.

Will go for another spin this afternoon and maybe I'll manage to do the short route tomorrow.smiley20.gif
