Kranswurm Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Different type of drugs now though? Less pokey in veiny more puffy puffy now?Puffy Puffy is the least of our worries.Coke,Horse is freely available and Crystal Meth more commonly known as Tik is rife.
Long Wheel Base Posted January 23, 2020 Author Posted January 23, 2020 When I see this pic and remember the vibe.........you have to consider doing it again.The admin is sadly just too much these days. What a wonderful ride.Yeah it is a mission, especially with kids. I no longer go down for an extended period but I HAVE to keep doing it and TBH I am not complaining. It is now just part of my life and I work it into the budget. Once the kids are older I will make a holiday of it. I remember as a school lightie having to take school work down every year and do it while down there.

Karooryder Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 How does suikerbossie en chappies compare to Hekpoort Pass (from the northern side) and / or Klapperkop in PTA? Suikerbossie is comparable to Hekpoort but I think Hekpoort is longer (I might be wrong). Suikerbossie is a totally different animal from Klapperkop - can't really compare. For me there is one true comparison to Suikerbossie and that is that leg-wrenching last climb at Suikerbosrand. Not so much in terms of incline and distance but because both are hard climbs on tired legs... NicholasT and Ashchest 2

Spinnekop Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 You missing the wind factor from suikerbosieThen again, the adrenaline factor of people cheering you and the beers you have on the way up sorta cancels the wind out.   Long Wheel Base and Pure Savage 2
The Ouzo Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Suikerbossie is not that hard.where did you get that, its pretty cool.Â
The Ouzo Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Then again, the adrenaline factor of people cheering you and the beers you have on the way up sorta cancels the wind out.   I remember my first time.Steel frameI think 42-23 gearing. Just powering it up there, slow and steady, if I recall my cycle computer was showing 8km/h. Everytime i was about to come to a stop and spectator ran up to help me along. Long Wheel Base 1
Kranswurm Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Suikerbossie is not that hard.Its a Sunday morning ride for coffee.Hekpoort is more than Ou Kaaps or Chappies.Magoebas is real.Right from the turn off on the Tzaneen road then bomb down Georges Valley Spinnekop 1
Dicky DQ Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 where did you get that, its pretty cool. Possibly here? https://www.climbbybike.com/climb_difficulty.asp
Spinnekop Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) where did you get that, its pretty cool. Got the formula off WW. It is pretty widely used.From there I have just added some climbs I have don along the way to get a more clear picture overall.   To get a BIG picture  (what REAL climbs looks like out there.....here is my complete list:  Ventoux sitting waaaaaaaaaaayyy at the topClimbs.xlsx Edited January 24, 2020 by Spinnekop Long Wheel Base, Kranswurm, HdB and 1 other 4
