hilly route thru Vredehoek - advice

[City Cycling Athletic Club]

a while ago there was a thread on hill training & a hubber described a route that started at the cape technicon CTown and crossed over Roeland street and de Waals Drive into Vredehoek. the route sort of threaded its way thru the left side of Vredehoek and eventually joined up with the top of Kloof Nek. i would recon the area myself i don't think i would be able to see past the red mist that i anticipate would cover my eyes. any hubbers out there that are familiar with this route?

i dont know that route you are referring to, but you could very easily develop your own route by starting at your destination and working backward on Google maps. easy stuff.

 

but I've devved up one for you as a suggestion. Green dots indicate an alternate route.

 

 

 

There are just so many ways to hurt yourself up that way. that place is hillrepeat heaven, or hell depending on how much you like to hurt yourself.

I second this, the view is really great from the top (If you get there)
