At the last waterpoint I had to decline a beer (never thought I’d see the day) and push on towards Die Top, knowing that those last switchbacks take forever to finish.

 

True this, a bit like Heartbreak Hill on Day 1, those last few switchbacks before the Top is pure torture!

 

Nice write-up!

Awesome man, I been on that road, didnt cycle it, but would love to at some time

You should give it a go. If you do it alone, in the middle of the week, outside of the school holidays, you might just get one of those "I'm alone on earth" experiences. I love that, but some find it a bit scary. It is the one road where I have been known to talk to myself, sometimes in the third person, but perhaps that is just the heat and the lack of oxygen? Whatever, I like the hallucinations I get on that road.

Planning on a section of the X Cape route, as the buddies seem interested in that. They not interested in even riding down the swartberg pass tho.
