headhunter Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Hopefully, with the NW winds predicted, you are going to ride the R101 Kuils River Road out to GB and hide from the wind via Stellenbosh on the way home......other wise julle gaan k@k op pad huis toe after riding up 8/9% grade ave. to Pumphouse!! With a good NW'er you guys should ave. 45 kmp/h along that stretch of R101 road.

LOL! (given that he had done 200Km in the week compared to my 16 on the IDT) - I must add that I had a nice aero position going and dropped him a few times sitting at a nice 33-35Km/h into the wind. You have some world renown routes out your way - enjoy them
