Tour De Peninsula

[niklasvm]

Tough one, would like to join but not sure if doing such a long ride before Sunday's MTB race is a good idea

 

What is the exact route from Green Point to Boyes Drive

 

From greenpoint, make your way into town. get to adderly, turn right onto Adderly and left past the station. Go past the Goodhope centre (on your right) and follow the road through woodstock, it becomes liesbeek parkway after you pass under the N2. Carry on until you can turn into campground road, go past the stadium. Straight at the robots. Keep straight until you get to a circle. Go left and at the next robot turn right into Bowwood Drive. All the way to the top of the road you get to the M3. Turn left and climb to the top of Wynberg hill. Then hang a left and take the Travato Link exit. Follow that road keeping right and go down Alphen hill road to turn right into Constantia Main road. Next follow the road under the freeway and turn after 2 robots into Spaanchemat road. Follow this road through Bergvliet and Tokai. You'll eventually end up on main road (which is on the argus route).

No need. You'll be fine.

Lets see how long I can hold on for. If it gets too tough for me, I can always do some repeats up Black Hill and do a re-group at the Sunvalley traffic lights to hook up for Chappies and Suikerbossie. Lets see how I feel when I get to that point

We said we would regroup, dont think you should just fall off the back becasue then we may be waiting for you.

 

If the plan is to regroup then dont stress.

You are stressing too much. I'm not in this to make it a race. Will be one of the backmarkers most of the way myself. Time in the saddle, beautifull surroundings, nice company. That's what it is about.
