| Suikerbosse |
The Cape Argus ride 2011 was cycled in perfect conditions, as can be seen from these pictures. 68 miles through heavenly views, beside the Atlantic and the Indian oceans, and starting and finishing under Table Mountain, one of the world's most iconic sights. The pictures show two of the climbs - Suikerbosse, which came at the end of the ride, shortly after Chapman's Peak. There were tens of thousands of riders, with about a thousand from overseas. We were given a favoured start time, in the middle of the pack. The other local entrants were all seeded, in accordance with their prowess in earlier seeding events up and down the country. Prior to the schedulede ride, we trained in Franschhoek, Montagu and Swellendam, with a day ride on the Bainskloof Pass that we'd ridden on three years ago. We cycled that twice in the same day, for good measure!
