Ride to Tokai, ride up to the mast or up to lookout point above Silvermine. Trails back down for some fun ....

Silvermine looks good.  A good stretch target I think would be Newlands to Silvermine, then finish off with the mast.  Let's see.

Thanks!

Not at threshold….high tempo to sub threshold. After two intervals go and do a flat zone 2 ride for 40 min then repeat.

where is your vo2max currently?

Thank you.  Re Paarl mountain, do you have any routes you could share for safe gravel roads with climbs?  And to I need a permit for this please?

Many thanks

It’s actually super at the moment as a lot of the jeep tracks were graded for the Epic. So super straight forward you can head up either northern or southern side of Paarl to get onto Jan Phillips drive and then you get to a turn to head up into the reserve. If you stick on the jeep track you won’t need a permit, but if you plan on hitting any of the single tracks in the mountain then you would need one. For the best climbing you can start at Frater square, then head up the road to the Taal monument and get on Jan Philips drive from there. Could look something like this, but you could add on by heading to paarl rock as well. https://strava.app.link/ydwx3I7S3Rb
