30th March 2008, Zoo Parking (13kms)

This week it is from the Zoo Parking at 7:00, and it's the conventional Zoo Parking run up Boshoff Ave to Top Tap, then along the ridge past Chiavelli's old place, over the M3 footbridge, and down to Wynberg School before coming back along Tennant, past Paradise Motors, and back to the Zoo Parking.

It's about 13 kms, but is a "quality run" with plenty of hills, and its magically scenic.

16th March, 2008 - VOB Club House

Starting at 7am as usual, we run from the VOB Club House this week. The run is a traditional run the week before Oceans.

We head up Constantia road and then turn into Doordrift which we follow to the bottom. We turn left into Gabriel road and head back towards the club. This leads us back into Constantia Road which we follow until the intersection with Brommersvlei Road when we turn to the right. This will lead us into Southern Cross Rd which we take to the top. From here we go through Cecilia Forest and follow the old Oceans route before heading back to the club. This is quite a challenging route, but as always there are lots of possible short cuts :)
