'Dale Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Boo-tee-full Pyrenees Col de Pailhères - 15,3 kilometre-long climb at 8% http://www.velopeloton.com/pyrenees-cycling/uploads/gallery/album_77/gallery_1_77_144540.jpg
'Dale Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Imagine racing at 8 degree avg ascent over 15 km.Eish!! Uhm, or plain riding.
Cippo Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 From velopeloton.com,Luz Ardiden is a ski station in Hautes Pyrenees. About 30km south of Lourdes in a valley known as Pays Toy (country of the small people). The climb starts in the spa town of Saint Sauveur at 710m altitude and climbs for 13.4km to the summit at the ski station at 1720m. The average is 7.6% and the max is 12%. It is a very well engineered road constructed in the 1970's, with 25 hairpin bends and long straight sections in between. A beautiful ride up, the descend is the best there is anywhere. Period. http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q605/shaheedosman/ee9470a548fd718c532599c82163bc20.jpg

Keep your eyes peeled at the 'hot spot' as you enter Stellenbosch, by the Cloetesville flats.There's been a spate of attacks on cyclists lately.

Wannabe Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 Ended up riding on my own (left at 07h05.) RollandBounce caught up to me in his Bakkie to tell me he's not able to ride. Tx Bud. Will PM my tel no. to you for future use, much less hassle. Ended up doing 84km at an avg of just over 26km/h. Weather was lekker, but that W N/W wind pushed me around a bit on the R304 section.Saw lots of cyclists on the R44, and all behaving well. Well done guys.
'Dale Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 Nice form building there, Wannabe... Twelve of us crossed the beautiful Du Toitskloof Pass and Bainskloof Pass through sunshine, mist and troops of baboons.

Did you follow N1 after Du Toits and then head out on R43 before Worcester towards Bain's? That DC team must be peaking by now.
