And the guys who cycle there , do a lap or 2 and then cycle back .

 

 

There is a chap in my neighbourhood who has ridden to SBR from Parkhurst, did 2 full laps and rode back home up Kliprivier.

 

It was a hot December day and he was on a black Pinarello and wearing black kit, with just a touch of Sky blue on his jersey. Good thing he wasn't near Cedar road !

Keep one thing in mind, there is no short way home.

Still may favorite ride. I use it to measure my level of fitness. Anything over 2:30 means I need to get with the program. Under 2:20 it's starting to work. My best time is 2:07. I dream of going under 2:05. Next year I think I will do it.

No, I checked the dates. He was cycling in France and swapped his black jersey for a yellow ine.

We rode to SBR, did a loop, and back, on two occasions from Benoni, as part of Maluti training.

Around 160km

No walk in the park, but I guess we took it easier up all those hills..

 

This year I will aim to do at least a 22avg for 1 lap if possible.. Not sure what time that'd be..

On the second lap the last big climb always makes me swear I am going to fit a compact crank. Now I have entered a ride in Italy that is pretty much four full laps in distance and climbing. I have started to do the research for a compact....

I saw Daryll Impi a few times last year riding from JHB,doing a loop and riding back to JHB..He also holds the KOM on the first climb from the Parking.

If he is training there it must mean something..
