We just Everested in somerset west today up Parel Vallei road and the climb on the left of it.

 

We were going to do the pump house but if wind picks up its game over and very dangerous. A great climb in somerset west is angry abellia.

Well done dude!

Abellia is a cool climb, but very busy.

 

That Picasso climb you guys did in Spanish Farm can also get dicy.

 

I must say, that if I was going to do a Everest in Somerset I would probably go up and down Hillcrest. https://www.strava.com/segments/3387706

 

Very little traffic, parking at bottom for support cars etc and B E A utiful scenery with the Nature Reserve right there..... Hmmm I am on leave next week... :thumbup:

Only problem is that is worked out to 72 laps, 72 laps is a little bit much. 

 

Road surface on Hillcrest is also a little dodge. 

 

Not sure if I could give that a go again anytime soon.

Great stuff!  72 laps ...,  I would never make that.  I can handle 5 laps at best of Hillcrest.  Watch out for the bees at the bottom coming down.  I almost swallowed a bee once.
