Duane_Bosch Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) I'm always amazed that so few people ride all the way to the end of the Signal Hill Road. The view alone makes the climb worthwhile. I looooove that road. Nice and quiet and the views are just incredible. The spikey little climb is only a few hundred meters long. When we were trying to get strong for Spain we did Camps Bay drive, Kloof neck, Tafelberg, Signal Hill and the Glen in a morning a few times. One of my fave routes isHB - Suikerbossie - Camps Bay - Camps Bay Drive - Tafelberg road to the very end - Signal hill - Victoria back to HB. Edited February 7, 2019 by Duane_Bosch Capricorn 1
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Work. Had a nice early morning chat to the UCT 1st years selling SAX Appeal magazines at the traffic lights to raise funds for charity (SHAWCO). Lots of banter and friendly faces. Sommer shamed one driver into buying one as well. Simply said that if a dude poor enough to ride a bike can buy one, then he in his big shiny car can too.....look at the young ladies smile, see how nicely she is asking.....and he paid R30 with a laugh! Got to work with a big grin. Rode along Main Road specially for it. Glad I did.HAHAHA! My little one saw the mag this morning. Asked me all innocently "why is someone selling a magazine with someone NAKED on it!?"

That first punch up from the kloof nek road junction, past the SANParks hon ranger building to the flat, then just past the Vida van, and a few more punchy climbs. It's a bit tougher on the beast, though. DJR 1
Duane_Bosch Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) It's a bit tougher on the beast, though. I'm not so sure hey. The extra weight and tire drag makes it harder but the gearing on an MTB means you can trundle along at 4 whereas if you try that on a roadie you'll fall over. I don't know what this "intervals" thing that you speak of is. Edited February 7, 2019 by Duane_Bosch Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and DJR 2
