Worse......

Delhi Rd turn either right or left into Drakensberg....straight up in Drakensberg until you reach Matroosberg.  Then right all the way up....right into Forbes Reef.  At T junction left into Club.......all the way up with Club then left into Raymond....Raymond becomes Sanford.....and this a NASTY piece of gradient and you finish off at the T at Rigel.

 

I did this stretch every day in prep for the Mauritius tour years back.

 Nice one, I usually turn right at the double circle into club and then left into bogey, stretches it a bit

Tom Jenkins has clear 'No Cycling' signs both at the top and bottom ...

And your point is? So does the N4 Rustenburg highway... No one seems to worry going up and down a freeway... I have gone up Tom Jenkins and can't recall any signage. Maybe I was too tired. The joggers are the problem, they get in the way.

Must be new. Have not seen them the last time I went up there.

 

But might be a few years back by now, and on a Sat morning at 06h00 ish...

Signs on Tom Jenkins up for a few months now. Lots of people commute with bikes there. No signs about jogging and walking -so is it legal to push your bike there? Another stupid unenforceable rule. Zuma must have something to do with it.

Yup thanks, it's actually less than a km from my house :rolleyes:

Love the area there. Just traffic during commutes suck. Great area to do a bit of work

If you take my KOM, i will find you, and I will take it back! :ph34r:

I saw your Strava profile the other day, impressive.

Thus I don't stand a chance anyways  :blush:

 

Especially how you did the repeats on Klapperkop

Since I'm bit of a heavy oke (I'm working on that), there's no way that I can compete with you guys on these hills, but I'll give you a hiding of note coming down it. :w00t:
