I've entered to do the 123km, 11 Feb 2012. Planning to do a training ride Saturday, 28th Jan. 2012 and the 4th Feb 2012 on this route. Anyone want to join? Departing from Graanendal Shopping Complex @ 04H50.

_{That is a very good idee that last 12kilos are tuff- little climb up to the stop from N7, Vissershok & Odendaal's}

pfft - have you ever jumped from a plane? It's an awesome feeling.

hahahaha - guess not as much fun as the Cobra hey - it takes the cake..... and your legs....... and any confidence that you may have had that you were getting stronger.

What riding pace are you looking at?
Looking at the weather forecast, a fairly stiff S/SE is forecasted. Going to make the last 30odd km very interesting.

Nope, just the slingshot at Ratanga which has a second of free fall or something, would like to try it someday though.

Not quite as much fun, but a close 2nd

I've got 3h 30min to ride, so it will depend on wind and time whether to do whole route.
At least till silos, right to naartjie verkoopers, R44, voorpaardeberg, and back to Durbanville, up Odendaal, etc.

[sonyboy]

may include coming back on adderley rd?!

You should do the whole thing in that time

3h30 not enough for whole route. Took us (me) 4h40 to do 128km the previous time, and the weather (read wind) was a lot more favourable. I'll join you up to the Adderley rd turnoff on the way back, where I'll make my exit sharp left.
