What: Cape Argus
Where: Cape Town, South Africa

Why: The world Biggest Mass Participation Bike Race in the World, some 35,000 entries
Its sunny there

When: March every Year, normally the second Sunday.

Difficulty: Its 109km's around the Cape with 4 climbs, but not climbs like in a Grand Fondo, or Etape (climbs a bit bigger like you get on a ride in the surrey hills)

This climb went on for ages (approx 2 hrs)and was higher than any climb I had experienced on a bicycle. The pros took off as per usual but by using techniques provided in the THE COMPLETE BOOK of CYCLING SKILLS I slowly but surely reeled them in. Which in hindsight wasn't a good idea because now I was forced to lead from the front.
