seanjohnston30 Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Hi.Looking for some decent long hill climbs in or around jhb that dont involve riding on the road. Any help will be much appreciated
Christie Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Breed's Nek is one of the few options. It is a proper hill, I wont call a mountain, but it is the best I know of. You can do it by riding from Van Gaalens and back for distance, or park closer and do repeats.
Christie Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Some other short ones out east of Pretoria are Swavelpoort and WTF, but these are more steepish undulations, rather than hills.
Ashchest Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Breedts Nek Go up on the one side and then down on the other - then you have to come back up again
seanjohnston30 Posted June 6, 2019 Author Posted June 6, 2019 Thanks so much for the replies. Will definately go give them a try
mrcg Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Some other short ones out east of Pretoria are Swavelpoort and WTF, but these are more steepish undulations, rather than hills.Hi Christie, would you mind being a bit more specific how to find these and get there? Cheers
RobertWhitehead Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 There's a route called the "Triple Tiere Trap" in the East of Pretoria, this route comprises of: Saints, Wingerde, WTF, Tier, Nkwe then once at Nkwe you turn around and repeat. It will be close to 1000m over 50km. Let me see if I can find the Strava file quickly, otherwise I will plot one for you
RobertWhitehead Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 https://www.strava.com/routes/19387945 - 684m over 37.9km for there and back to the start. If you do it 3 or even 4 times the elevation will be lots more. You can change the route up a bit and just do some repeats as well
