You HAVE to ride up the local hill once for every post..... it's very close - the bottom is maybe 100m away...... should get you in shape....

Got to do the extension up to the water tower, and the little skills loop around the park too.... :) worth it just for the view..... except during a thunderstorm....

Coreldraw is king when you doing anything that will be manufactured, cut or patterned. Also works well with engineering and CAD apps.

Illustrator is for hipsters and Mac fanbois :P (runs and hides)

Here's one of them... Old School, Heartbreaker, Rosary etc in the Factory shops

One of the best in Joburg (although it doesn't look like much on google maps) - Sunrise is a beaut! post-3544-0-36785100-1409818308_thumb.jpg

 

Actually find the south side, up from Milner, the harder of the two - seems to drag on for ages, and gets harder towards the top...

I would just like to mention the great service our company is receiving from the Anatomic store in Pretoria. Our HR department decided to change the suppliers we've been using for our cycling clothes and the service the lady at the Pretoria store has given our HR manager has been awesome. From what our HR manager has said she will recommend them anytime.

I usually ride from Milner up Alida, then Frederick, Hearn, Rocky and into Lois, then up Lucky, and around the loop in the view park, then reverse out and go down the south side - Musilis and De Wet - sometimes I do it in reverse. The one I don't like is 4th Road up to Hollywood.... not too bad on a geared bike, but the SS is a beast...

Good to see some love for CorelDraw still out there :)

I also use CorelDraw with our presentation work (Autocad files imported and then visual images interfaced) being Architectural and Interiors ..... works well for me :)

 

Good Luck Andrew, if you need long term kit testers let me know. I still have a Anatomic silver label bib shorts doing fairly well after 10 years of use :) ... and I use them alot.

Agreed, that little loop around the Northern side of the tower is a great recovery spot.

Yip, Hollywood is a hairy one..

I know they have them for a reason, but those speed bumps going up Frederick are hectic when you have a heavily loaded car. Slow down for speed bump halfway up the hill and wait to rev up enough to go up more.. Not me, but was stuck behind a delivery truck the other day.. Killer!
