Tubehunter Posted September 9, 2014 Author Posted September 9, 2014 Respect - are they the 1st guys to complete 1 in South Africa? Think they are the first in Africa. Seen a comment like that thrown about. (Stand to be corrected though)
Spinnekop Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 WOW. Pretty awesome. This is something I seriously want to do. Just.....in Pta it is almost impossible!
Spinnekop Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 HUGE congrats and loads of respect earned.
Eugene Oppelt Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Hopefully, Ollie or someone from bicycling dot co za can interview these brave ones
Tubehunter Posted September 9, 2014 Author Posted September 9, 2014 Hopefully, Ollie or someone from bicycling dot co za can interview these brave ones Would be awesome to get some backstory on this! (One of the 4 that made it is the son of the editor of the magazine...)

I'm so gonna do something like this, but will check out a different route. The Glen road is very narrow and some chaps like to wind up along that road pretending it's the Pikes Peak hill challenge or something. Can't see myself spending the whole day riding this stretch of road!

Spinnekop Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Just to put it in perspective a bit. Those of you that have done Kowyns Pass in Graskop.....you will have to do it 19times. It will take you roughly 13 hours. INSANE!
