This is one of my favourite routes – technical, hilly and with glorious views. Thirty-two pitched up to trudge up Kloof Corner and see the sunrise. The Fast group took off along the contour path and split up later with Tim, Hein, Gemma and Adele turning back sooner than the rest of the speedsters, who carried on past Oppelskop into Newlands and landed up doing a 17km run.
The Medium group went up to the Saddle and across to Oppelskop, lots of climbing and stopping for pictures. Instead of doubling back they took the downhill towards Tafelberg rd and reconnected with the lower contour path back to the start.
The Slow group missed the Platteklip turn off and landed up doing more of front face than they had planned, before turning down into Deer Park.
The longer runners in the Fast group did 17km in 2h50, the Medium group 13km in 2h50, Slow group 8.8km in 1h55.
