I tried to warn you about those climbs and a loaded bike but it's something you need to experience yourself to truly appreciate 😉😅

🤣 you did! and it echoed round in my head for hours!, I gave them a good go though!! Next time, maybe..! Actually want to come your way and try some of what that area has to offer, with lessons learned and a honed gear list!

The Cederberg's climbs are truly "next level". I've done then numerous times before on tours and each time I still seem to be caught by surprise on just how challenging they prove to be... or maybe it's because I'm just getting older 😊

Have you done the Plett 2 CT Cape Cycle Route yet? I can strongly recommend adding that to your "To Do" list. Longer than the Cederberg but less challenging terrain and absolutely stunning scenery.

I've been told about this route, is it the Cross Cape?

I see this race is now on the UCI calandar of events. Looks like it has replaced the Swartberg race so gives us here another option to do a uci race.

Do you see that as a positive thing? Would you travel to the world champs if you qualified?

Yes it’s positive as it might attract international entrants and it also raises the profile of the event. I would not travel if I qualified due to financial reasons at this moment but it would be nice to have a uci medal in my collection.
