I ride the "Bo-kaap Kopplenberg" sometimes, Its *** steeep! I battle in my grannygear with Mtb if its not done at speed. no good for knees like mine.

 

I wish we had some criterium races, Imagine this...

 

Imagine longstreet closed off, racing through longstreet with people hopefully not spitting of the balconys but cheering like mal, as you fly down there at 50km/h at the bottom down to the waterfront back into greenpoint, down greenpoin, Up glengarith(that steep bugger next to the Clicks and 7/11, chase up High Level, down strand before taking a right into bo-kaap, Up to Longmarket(that steep Cobled one to the noonday gun, before turning left and back to the top of Longstreet...

 

Call it what you want, I cannot see a better way to showcase our sport to the masses around Feb for argus time. No One knows what happens in a bunch sprint, or a break away, but when they see 50 hungry riders chasing down 4 skinny guys they will figure it out.

Raymond! This pics is so porno... You should have come to the VIP Garmin after party in Paris - you miss out big time. At least you made Durban this past weekend.

bos: i you riding up Longmarket street from church street? Definite knee killer that. Even better when wet . You can get a nice double dose of cobbledeegook, but instead of turning right into Yusuf Drv, continue down August street till you pass that takeaways/restaurent on your left, then turn right at the cobble road going all the way up to where Yusuf Drv turns into Upper Pepper street (You legs will thank you mid way up for what a swell guy you are treating them to moaar cobbles ), turn left and follow down to Lion street. Turn right onto lion's street, then first left into another cobble street down to Bryant (St Pauls Primary on your right). Then u back at the route you marked out when u turn right.

 

Tamboerskloof (belle ombre, Gimore Hill Woodside, and the one that links into Leeukloof drv) offers some of the nicest continuous, steep climbs next to Kloofnek without the coughcough of the passing traffic. The irritating bit is the varying gradient that really teases your legs. But they have awesome sets of stairs you can bomb down once done. The nice thing about those stairs: they are damn steep. sweet to gap and go from block to block, and them blocks are long in Tamboerskloof. Just jack up tire pressure before attempting

[Lucky Luke.]

Bos that would definitely be a sick circuit. Maybe we could organise an Alley Cat race some time. That bit down long street would be so facking fast if there was road closure though. In the waterfront you definitely need to go all the way through the corner after the Aquarium and up that little rise to go left at the roundabout. That is the best little corner to hammer through. Beach Road through Mouille Point would be sick too if we could race down there and then maybe head up Glengariff Road on to High Level.
