Once you rode the stretch from the bottom of the Swartberg Pass (oudtshoorn side) through Kruisrivier to Calitzdorp, you will forever call it the valley of a thousand hills. Those KZN guys just have no idea! I know a mixed team couple who used to book a cottage there for the last month of hard training before doing the Epic. Their ride was THAT road, and THEN the Swartberg Pass before turning back. After that they just tapered and enjoyed the Epic.

That the same stretch you do with 36One past the dam?

Need to say a few thousand more times ... then maybe I will have another rush to the brain and try it again ....  :cursing:   :devil:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS - Interesting how that ride has changed my "perception" and approach to other "hills" .... hills I would not have attempted before suddenly is done with so much easier.

Set out this afternoon with good intentions. After about 5km of riding into a headwind I started feeling not so good and not long before I realized something was wrong.....the CTCT training is going to take a knock.....this was supposed to be the start.[emoji848][emoji5]

 

Managed to take one pic before I "my ass fell out".c74e6f3020d9c66e6b05aff73ac0b99c.jpg

The perfect mountain. Very jealous :)

Late afternoon into night spin through the general muldersdrift area with the missus.

 

Some blurry pics, as taking photos at night while riding seems to be quite a challenge.

 

Edit: the sun may not shine out of my ass, but a red light does....
