Rydogg Posted April 8, 2014 Share The roadies have to cycle on the highways, which are only about 5km long into and out of town. Get a mountain bike. Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of gravel road. janfromnam and no calves 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkie 2 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Thanks for the feedback. My fiance is an elite sponsored local road rider so take it that she won't have any worthwhile training routes or competitions to compete in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Rat Posted April 8, 2014 Share Contact Mannie Heymans I think he still runs a cycle shop there. I spoke to him at last year's Sani and he confirms that they still run the Saturday afternoon timetrials from Windhoek Country Club Hotel. Seems the road cycling is still quite active, but it is a country with a small population so expect the depth of competition to be quite shallow.
