en as jy in die jhb omewing bly is daar hillsnacks, sterkfontein, hekpoort, en as jy rerig wil kan jy sandton in neuk met jou fiets vroegoggend, dan voel jy hoe die styl die paaie rerig is wat mens gewoonlik in jou kar ry

I agree with the notion of avoiding steep hills for prolonged hill training: Find one with a fair grade and use gearing to make it harder. IMO rhythm is more important than brute force.

 

Anyone (apart from Cox) tried Tom Jenkins with a 53x11?

Frostie do you train in the sterkfontein area? We cycle around there every weekend and building a nice group at a good pace.

You guys should come and play over here with us in Taiwan !!! Here we have some STYL BULTE!! We can do Huhuanshan - It starts at about 300m above sea level and goes to 3500 in 55km. There is a break of about 400m where you are not climbing - the rest is just UP UP and UP again!!
