Hay cK is the 500m ascent part of the 27km route?
Do you have a profile of the 27km?
There is the event the Lord of the Chain Rings 3 day stage race in Hogsback where the terrain covered is so varied that after each stage you have covered cross country type technical single track sections, climbed mountains and obviously come down the mountains as well where downhill skills will definitely count in your advantage.
Check it here:

The prices you have for (PE2PLETT ; DR Evil Classic and Wines 2 Wales) are for single riders, and the price for the Lord of the Chain Rings is for the team of 2 riders.
Oh, WAIT!!! I see now what you used...... the price of R4250 for the "Lord of the Chain Rings" that you have in there is the price that includes 4 nights HOTEL ACCOMMODATION and ALL meals!!! 
Where both team and single entries are available, the cost of the team entry has been used (just so we can compare apples with apples).
Hi Dubber!
Awesome work putting this together THANKS!!
Just one thing I noticed quickly is:

Wow! Not sure what happened this week......entries are suddenly streaming in!!
Must be pay day 
So those that want to book accommodation best act quick!! 
We are actually contemplating making the after party the official STAGE 4!!
Hay Feltgood, don't know what happened to our original hub thread, but it disappeared 
I think the LotCR is suited for the 29ers, although there are some tight single track sections, with short sharp little inclines where the 26ers will be more suited.....but as a whole.....29ers will be first choice for some.
Entries for the 2013 Lord of the Chain Rings are OPEN!!
The Hogsback Lord of the Chain Rings MTB is a 3 day stage race with each day’s stage starting and finishing in Hogsback. Riders will endure approximately 200km of varied terrain: forested single track, cattle track, jeep track and varied farm roads as they make their way to the finish line.Our strategy is to provide a challenging, yet achievable stage range, where cyclist’s individual needs are of the utmost priority. Our cyclists need to feel that they have experienced true Eastern Cape Hospitality and a varied riding experience that only the Eastern Cape can offer. Riders will also notice our strong commitment to the communities along the way as well as the high-level of involvement and hospitality from the local community.And to all those "old school" riders who say that medals and trophies are over-rated because they have acumulated so many over the years: The finishers medals and trophies custom and hand made for this event will surely be whipped out and displayed at many family gatherings for show-and-tell! You will have to see them and feel them, to believe them!The Hogsback Lord of the Chain Rings MTB is a 3 day stage race with each day’s stage starting and finishing in Hogsback.
