Mads Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 A while ago there was a thread on the steepest hills in the Western Cape. Can't seem to find it. Search did not help Can someone help me in the right direction - or was it lost with the big bang?
Vetseun Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Mads, the steepest hill in Bloem is Tafelkop.Thats my contribution. 100Tours 1
Mads Posted March 22, 2014 Author Posted March 22, 2014 Thank you Vetseun, but firstly that does not help much and secondly that does not sound very steep Capricorn 1

Capricorn Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) some interesting infoon the vissershok climb. Cippo: how are climbs classified? Quick squizz of the interwebs doesn't generate a firm understanding of how its done. One site just says its generally based on any climb with 3% gradient or more, and then the categories are based on the length of the climb.Some subjectivity is involved for races, where a climb can jump a category if only because its at the end of a particularly hard part of the race. Typical explanation I've found. Edited March 22, 2014 by Capricorn
Cippo Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Price Drive, off Constantia Nek Have'nt done that one yet. I took everything off Strava website. Let me check. Richard29 1
