Do you believe the MAMIL has a KOM

Here’s the first in a series of videos featuring a Strava KOM on an uphill segment I created in the lockdowns in 2020 when we were absurdly allowed to exercise in a 5km radius of home and before 9am.

5 people have ridden it, I’m the fastest. It’s whereabouts used to be secret but here it is revealed. It’s the Roodebloem to Premier road peak, a fearsome Cat 4 slope, 1 and 3/4 kilometers long and averaging 8.2% gradient.

I’m going to use it as a barometer to measure fitness as I follow my Trainer Road program in pursuit of a competitive edge at next year’s Tour du Cap.

Can you beat the MAMIL?
