Mountain biking 3:50:50 [3] 69.45 km (18.1 kph) +1605m
I'd been thinking about doing this for a while, so nice to finally get it done...and I couldn't have picked a better day. The weather was amazing!
From home along the greenbelts to Tokai. Straight up to the mast (just over 900 meters above sea level) and then back down, though went along DH3 to get out of Tokai
From Tokai along the road to the top of Ou Kaapse Weg. It was starting to warm up, but surprisingly I wasn't feeling too bad. I seem to be alright when the road goes uphill. Into Silvermine and then all the way to Noordhoek Peak (about 700 masl). Back home via the road at then jumping onto the single track at the forest opposite Tokai
Great ride, with stunning views. Getting in the altitude training I severely lack ;)

Longest run I've done in ages! So fun being back on Table Mountain

Along the contour path to Kirstenbosch, then up the horrid stairs, down into Kirstenbosch at the bottom of Skeleton Gorge, and back to Woolsack via the bike path and Newlands Forest
