Hi Hillbillies
Please join me at 05:30 tomorrow morning for an easy-paced run, with a few Hillbilly hills, through scenic Bishopscourt and Claremont neighbourhoods. It's darkish still at 5:30, so bring a torch or just be careful where you run. We should be treated to a beautiful sunrise though!!
Route suggestion: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=4276485
Distance is around 12.5km
Route description:
Starting at Great Westerford, we run up Dean Street (hill #1), along Newlands Avenue and down the M3 to Fernwood. Stop for water at the Shell (2.5km), we then run along Fernwood towards Boshoff. We then take Heath off Boshoff over to Riverside, and onto Kirstenbosch Drive, heading towards Kirstenbosch. Onto Bishopscourt Drive, we continue straight onto Canterbury for a long hill (hill #2). At 6km mark the hill flattens out for a bit of a break before the final climb up to Kirstebosch Top Gate (6.5km) and our next water break. From Kirstenbosch we head up Klaasens Road to Monterey (yes, that road!) for a short but steep climb (hill #3), followed by a long downhill along Upper Bebington (becomes Forest Avenue), all the way down to the M3 (10km). Crossing over the M3, we run along Struben to Bowood to Eden Road, over the Protea Circle and along Protea Road to the bend. We stick to the straight and transition onto Colinton Road. Turn onto Kildare, then Main Street and back to Great Westerford.
