    New course is basicly tour de PPA route , so if you able to attend that you can still enjoy it. I might sound negative (won't be anything new), but just loved the end of 99er. Now I need to get the @#$# memories of Tour de PPA out my head.

    Other issue is the long route will share road till fisantekraal with short route as long route guys do that extra loop first before merging onto same route. In beginning everyone is still in bunches , the last stretch the short guys are normally single file so don't create a problem I can't find the start times now , maybe it will be ok ...

    Problem with us non climbers is (read overweight) .. we can stay with bunch normally till vissers, then only loose few minutes to the finish, so good change of bettering the seeding. Now we will loose the bunch early in race and end up with the skinny fast climbers from back bunches that simply don't have the diesel power to help keep pace up on the flats so you end up with lot slower pace . (well, thats my limited experience). But as said .. It is what it is and I need some racing time in my legs.

    LOL From history page: The 99er Cycle Tour first took place in 1999. The inaugural event was 99km long and so the name “The 99er” was born.

    Anyone know how the condition is of Van Schoorsdrift, Should I take gravel bike?
  12. Karman de Lange

    So Dane takes the win again, was impressive to see the Man in his element! Also big congrats to Lurich , who never did a 24hrs before or any significant long even, for 3rd position, definitely Someone to look out for in 2022 if he do it again.. Track was apparently awesome, my body said differently definitely will do some training if im doing this event again ..

    Load shedding seems to only be problem on Sunday 8:00 till 10:30 .. Saterday is 08:00-10:00... At least sun should be up by then, hopefully they have generators as I'll need some coffee.

  19. Karman de Lange
    Umm 2020 route updated on the website: Lap distance: just over 12km. Elevation around 350m my spez with 3x9 looking more and more appealing. /me off to get e-bike
  20. Karman de Lange
    So my 80mm Specialized Epic Marathon 26" would be better option ? (now you make me ponder)
  21. Karman de Lange
    12km loop and ~260m climb per loop its as tough as you make it. Lot people aim for 10 laps, thats still a proper distance. (6-7 on first day, braai/sleep, rest of laps the next morning ) what is nice you only need cary water with you, each lap is short enough that you snack at start/finish and order the next round of food/drink from support at same time (unless they sleeping, then you hope they did not leave coolerbag empty) Charged the lights, actually eventually entered, some snacks already bought. My k2a is geboek
  22. Karman de Lange
    My wife is asking stuff like .. is the tent still working, do we need cooler box, what food do you want , I keep on thinking, for what.. are we going somewhere??
  23. Karman de Lange
    Hoping for 20 laps again. (managed 14 in 2017). I actually washed and serviced my bike this weekend, first time in 2 years .... hopefully things don't fall off now i'm so blocking out the event, its not even funny
