Oh yes definately! The last 10km stretch will be interesting (slight uphill drag). Hope the legs hold...

 

It's not the "slight uphill drag" that worries me. Rode that stretch a couple of weeks ago and it was... horrible! Mix in short-routers (for lower long-distance groups) and possible traffic. :huh: Almost expect more complaints about this than the 99er gravel section.

I dont like riding that last stretch from Paarl brickfields to the Pniel turnoff... going to be interesting with short distance riders joining and the Sunday traffic towards Franschhoek.
