PietSw Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I saw on Strava some of the Orica GreenEDGE boys riding around in the Eastern Transvaal. I guess they doing some Mountain training with an elevation gain of nearly 3000m. I follow Darryl Impey as he rides around my area often and saw that Adam Yates and Luca Mezgec was riding with him. Will that be the closest thing they can get to the TdF in SA? I would have thought that the Cape might have some mountainous terrain.
Jaco-fiets Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 They should come train down in the Cape like the real pros
Bianchi Baby Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 They all seem to train in and around Nelspruit/Sabie/Graskop/Dullstroom Have you seen some of those roads leading up those mountains ???????? They also then get to recover at altitude!
PietSw Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 Also saw Team RECM in Kaapschehoop when I was there in Dec.
Jaco-fiets Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Well as long as they don't use Impey's "careless" pharmacist it is probably ok

Yeah, Glad I did not have my bike with me.. I might just have been dumb enough to try 'em and die
EmptyB Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 That ride from Hazyview through Graskop is flippin beautiful and brutal. Amazing place to train or take your MTB into the forests!!
