Thanks; there are certainly some similarities. Looks like 1st 3st and last 3km are the same; but it may go the opposite way after that. I think it might go up 'Young Bafana' (in 2022 this was a descent). It is also 2km longer; but with +350m more ascent and descent.

Thinking ahead to the Prologue; in just over 10 weeks... (to both training and predicting my prologue time). So has anyone (who knows the area quite well) managed to plot the route on one of the Route Mapping sites? Or even ridden it and have a gpx file of the route?

Have fun tomorrow. Let us know how you get on/your impressions of the route. Quick qu. How do you get a pass to ride at Lourensford? Was thinking I might try next Friday as Saturday feels too close to be doing an 1h30 ride…

From what I ca tell I think it will be a good course for a Prologue. You want to make sure everyone gets to the end in a shape to start Stage 1! And there will be plenty of opportunity to push on the climbs to get ready for the hard days ahead. Do you have a Strava link to your friends ride? Be interesting to see. I wouldn’t worry about your start time. Just based off an estimate; plenty of riders will have been over-ambitious in how quickly they can complete the course.

As far as I can tell; I did it to get a feel for the challenge ahead; and to create an estimated workout for the trainer.

Here is my first draft; not quite the right route but looks Ok): https://www.bestbikesplit.com/public/201061

Yes; I wanted to use the gpx in Best Bike Split to create a power plan; and then create a Trainer workout.

Hi. I was hoping to try to plot (an approximate) gpx for the Prologue Route based off the route profile. 0km Lourensford 5km Canarie 7km Rasta 11km Unknown peak 17km Young Bafana 19km Witboom 22km Ultimate 24km Lourensford Does anyone know these sections? Have any details of how best to do this? Many thanks
