DJR Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) What are your favourite road routes? Any hidden gems? We know its safe I would have thought that the Savages know that part of the world better than anyone else. Not so much 'routes', but for short sharp interval training and hill repeats in the Southern Suburbs, I use 2 places: 1. The straight-up tar road from UCT to Rhodes Memorial.2. From Claremont / Kenilworth over the M3 footbridge into Bishops Court to the top of Wynberg hill Both are quiet, mostly traffic free back roads, nice and steep Edited March 23, 2019 by DJR
Ace of Road Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Try Red hill but not alone, great training grounds
shahilj Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 I've just moved to the Southern Suburbs (Claremont) and the roads scare me! The roads I've seen are pretty narrow so I am scared to go exploring on my bike because I don't know the back roads too well. Are there any suggested roads to use (early morning or late evening) which have sufficient distance and are relatively quiet? I really want to just get on my bike and ride at least 20km rather than wait for the group rides on the weekend.

For MTB you close to Kirstenbosh Trail and Rhodes Alot of us start our rides in Claremont/Wynberg. Yes the roads are narrow in areas but my best advice is, start your rides as early as possible.

I can send you a strava link to a few. DJR, MDJ, Dadbod Racing and 1 other 4
Oufy MTB (Roadie) Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 While I agree with this I have kind of been looking at what I think is the biggest issue. Earlier rides mean quieter roads but also the last drunk drivers gong home. They seem to cause quite a few fatalities? It just seems like most deaths happen between 5am and 6.30am. I could be wrong here but this seems to be my observation! You make good points.I suppose it still boils down to a roll of the dice.I generally feel safe on the roads during the times you are referring to, but then it only needs to take 1 guy/gal.
