Morning commutes, West coast to CBD

[Nobody]

We commute fairly regularly from Blouberg, milnerton (Basically along Otto du Plessis) to CBD. This is NOT a road ride and a MTB will be essential. They have just cut the grass so there will definitely be thorns. (Picked up about 20 on my last encounter) so slime/tireliners/tubeless a must.

 

We use the half completed cycling lanes and then paths along the sides of the roads. About 35% tar will unfortunately be encountered.

 

Ride time about 40-60 mins depending on Traffic lights and fitness of riders. We ride as fast as the slowest person.

 

Lights recommended: flashing front lights and red rear lights (it all helps so the brighter the better)

I forgot to mention we do this in reverse on the way home too.

The times are not set in stone but in order to be at the office by 8am, we use the times above. every now and then we leave a little earlier and take a ride through the waterfront.

It is mostly windy in CT... you ride into the wind to CT from TV and then the south easter gives you a nice push home.

That wind is giving me good training.

 

 

 

I only leave at 15h00 from Plattekloof to go Town.

 

 

 

Returning is another story.
