aquaratza Posted June 19, 2020 Share Sounds interesting but I think the weather and lockdown thing might be putting a dampener on things. Do you have a Strava profile? or some idea of your power output target? roodie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zawillow Posted July 1, 2020 Share I drive the R302 a bit - maybe just me, but I'd be uncomfortable on a bike on that road. Assuming the direction you're going is Wellington to Malmesbury and back to DBV - have a look at the Haaskraal road that'll take you up to Hermon before you hit Wellington (there is a turn on the R44 just past Windmeul that'll take you north and eventually spit you out onto the R45 which you can cross and onto the Haaskraal Road). You can then follow you're route back down to Wellington (I do this ride every now and again) and then maybe do a bit of an Up and Over on Paarl mountain and back to Durbanville taking in some of the gravel between the R44 and R312. Route distance should be similar - you could always extend it by going over Helshoogte and via Stellies on your way back. Just my 2c. Enjoy it and hope it's a good one.

Your route def an option to avoid the R302 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
