South Pen loop- which is easier clockwise or anti-clockwise

[Capetownbell]

Hi there, 

Is it easier to ride Fishhoek to Kommetjie, scar, Cape Point and Simon’s or fishhoek to Simons town that way? 
 

Also any group rides around the south pen during last week in Dec? 

thanks

Not sure if clockwise is ‘easier’, but for me, the ‘reward’ was always doing the Smitswinkel climb, and THEN savouring that long, drag-race from the top of Smit’s, past Cape Point gate, and on to Red Hill base, and left down to Scarborough….

that way FEELS more intuitive - to me- than counter clockwise, possibly since the CTCT does that direction. That said, have gone the other way MANY times to change things up, but since you asked, I think CLOCKWISE for ‘easier’!
