Went looking for hills this morning. Found a hurt locker. 
Felt like the handbrake was up, even stopped at one point to check that the wheels were indeed spinning freely. 
I’m now properly broken.

Started with Primrose Hill (strava segment says Fischers), then went halfway up that hill from Bruma to Silvia, stopped at the Caltex to wait for my mate, waited to long so went most of the way back down and then up with him. 
Klapped Linksfield drive after that, then did some touring around and back up Sylvia’s to my mates place at the top, heading home had to head over Old Makro hill. 
 

hit my PB on “fischers” and Sylvia’s though.

There are a couple more big hills in quite close proximity that you could add in if you ever feel like you need to punish yourself for whatever reason

I had planned to do more, but the legs were having none of it today

 

BTW, that’s some next level Strava stalking you did there.

Same, wanted to get to 75km, but when I got to the top of AG Dewit (Fishers Hill) I had had enough ????

Hi @ChrisF!

 

Thanks so much for the company and the 'race' ????

I semi forgot about Bikehub, have some good memories of this place when it was still theHubSA, the colonel was still in charge, @Ronelle still took pics, @hagar were the president of the west coast, @ShortLegs @Willehond @PokerFace etc were still RSA citizens. Oh i can carry on with an endless list. How times and things have changed.

 

But 13years and 10months later "not so baby anymore" Yara went on her 2nd road ride, 1st time out in cleats and clipless pedals. We went to Bootleggers in Stellies for compulsary Banana bread and coffee. I finished on 68.3km and she went around the block to complete her 70km! Very proud dad indeed!
