Celeb seen on Klapperkop

Recommended Posts

Was suffering like a dog in the hills with MrPV and Nirvana

Loop over Klapperkop onto R21, up Elephant, up Pikkewyn and over Klapperkop again.

 

On our 3rd lap we saw none other than Taylorchick Stardoing a photo shoot with Sean Badenhorst (I think)

 

This of course inspired us to do several more Klapperkop repeats than planned, but alas no photo opportunities for usLOLLOL 

 

Thanks guys for the entertainmentClap

Yes, we did a Bicycling photo shoot with Cherise yesterday on Klapperkop. Saw a few  guys doing repeats up and down the climb. We were impressed at their commitment - and their pace - as it was hot and dry and there were a few dodgy 'lurkers' driving around!

 

The photographer was Aubrey Jonsson, who we use for most of our Gauteng covers. He won the national Mondi Award for Best Photograph in 2005. Aubrey is a perfectionist and is a keen cyclist himself, which makes it a pleasure to work with him. He shot the current issue's cover with Claudia Feige the triathlete.

 

During the riding shots of Cherise, I drove the bakkie ahead of her at around 25kph all the way up the top part of the climb (after the split to the Fort entrance). She kept that pace comfortably and was still able to smile the entire way (we did that three times). Superb athlete that!

 

Obscure fact alert! Last time I was on Klapperkop was 18 years ago (just before Cherise was born!) as a junior at 1989 SA road champs where the likes of Burgess, Ries, Richardson, Welgemoed and Ribbins were tearing our legs off in a 10 x 10km lap race. This Klapperkop visit was far less painful!
