Cycling routes

One of my short term goals is to cycle to work! From my house to Platinum is 15.6km. Recently while driving to work I have been looking at it from a cycling point of view and boy there are some big climbs. Here is the route:

I don't think that I will attempt this immediatly. I am thinking of starting with a 10km ride in the morning and evening. It will be a flat ride from home out on Old Cape rd and back, but we will have to see once i'm on the bike.

Talking about riding! What am i going to wear 'cos there is no chance I'll fit into riding shorts and a cycling shirt. I think I'll get cycling shorts and wear it under my baggies with a T-shirt and a helmet ofcourse. I think I will also buy clipless shoes!

Anyway that's my thoughts for now!
