NotSoBigBen Posted January 15, 2019 Author Posted January 15, 2019 Oh. Duh. How could I forget. There's a market in the HB harbor on a Friday night. Live music and great food and drinks. Just don't drink drive. The Metro boys love to have road blocks as you leave the harbor.Neither of us drink, hope not to have disappointed anyone ....

Bikemob in Westlake - fast Lifecycle - Tokai - all abilties Club100 Cape Town - all abilities SSC (southern suburbs Cyling club) Cape Town Giants. google the above clubs for their email addresses and bang them a mail query on you joining their weekend club rides. Everybody goes over Chappies for a bit of Argust training before March

Don't mind an occasional ride and I guess that way I can see the routes they use. Thanks

DJR Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Also, there will be a lot of riders out on the road at that time of year, with the Argus coming up. So, if you are feeling a bit worried from a security point of view riding the more lonely roads around the Point, it will be dead easy to find others to ride with. Routes like the stretch between Noordhoek and Camps Bay will even be a bit too full of cyclists on Saturday and Sunday mornings for some of us loner types.
Chingy182 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 My usual ride from that side is going over Chappies, Suikerbossie through Campsbay and then up just past Camps Bay High school to the top of Signal Hill and return to Noordhoek via the same way. I think that's about 55km and just over 1000m elevation.The Hill from Camps Bay to the top of Signal Hill is quite the monster.

NotSoBigBen Posted January 15, 2019 Author Posted January 15, 2019 https://www.strava.com/activities/1582596258Excellent, thank you so much!
Chingy182 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 https://www.strava.com/activities/1582596258It's a seriously fun route. Feels like you are climbing the whole time. Be sure to pop into Aegir project in Noordhoek afterwards for a beer...https://aegirprojectbrewery.com/
Man with no name Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Ben, will be lekke to do some miles with you over the weekends, let’s catch up closer to the time Lots of safe routes all the way from Signal Hill to Cape Point. Have a look at my strava or the heat map of the peninsula. I would stay clear of the back of Kommetjie and the informal settlement at the back of red hill on your own. For a visiting Vaalie the hub cafe in Scarborough is a must. You are unfortunately not a tinkerer [emoji41] otherwise you may have found his hand builts quite interesting.
