  4. Now that the event is officially going ahead, think a 2020 thread is appropriate! Going to be interesting seeing the vibe at the race this year. A few less teams, smaller teams, no picnics and fastest starting first. Now to get some new threads made in time
  5. Hi there! We're a mixed team with a very realistic goal of winning the mixed category in the Double Century, but our third lady has had to pull out due to illness so we currently don't classify as a mixed team. We have a really strong and also friendly team of riders and are urgently looking a strong female rider to complete our team to win the mixed category in the DC. If that's you or anybody you know, please pass this message on urgently and we'll owe you beers! Many Thanks Andy
  6. Just spotted that the 2019 edition sold out in 10 minutes, this was after 3 rounds of entries, PPA, corporate and general. Obviously some events are still really popular! Looks like we have 5 teams entered For those that like to remind themselves of those 3 little bumps at the end, here is the route: https://www.strava.com/clubs/21210/group_events/554512
  7. Hey guys, I am going to do the DC with my team who all arrive in Cape Town earlier that Friday morning(23 Nov). I was hoping someone out there has a later flight like me and could help me out with a lift to Swellendam? 23 Nov 17:00 Cape Town.
  8. Event Name: Coronation Double Century 2017 When: 25 November 2017 Where: Swellendam, Western Cape Category: Road The Coronation Double Century is an annual, 202 kilometre team cycle race that is limited to 250 teams, and takes place on 25 November 2017. Participating teams can again look forward to starting and finishing in the picturesque town of Swellendam in the Western Cape. The familiar route will also see competing teams complete the most challenging climbs (the Tradouw Pass and Op de Tradouw) within the first 60 kilometres of the race. From Swellendam, cyclists follow the R324 through Suurbraak and over Tradouw Pass towards Barrydale. A left turn onto the R62 leads them to the challenging 7 kilometre Op de Tradouw stretch, before making their way to Montagu. The route then snakes through Cogmanskloof towards Ashton and Robertson, before winding left onto the R317 towards Bonnievale, and finishing in Swellendam. The cycling equivalent of an ultra-marathon, the Coronation Double Century is more than just a cycle race and all about camaraderie and team spirit. Above all, it is a hard race and participants need to have put in the necessary training to finish in comfort. Teams must reach the finish by 16h30 and there will be cut-off points along the route.

  9. Like most ardent cyclists in Cape Town the Coronation Double Century is a highlight on the racing calendar for Pure Savage – the team was of course founded because of this event so it’s an auspicious occasion for us. While we’ve lost a few stalwarts over the years, including some of the original Savages, we’ve gained a slew of new riders and galvanised a solid bond in our ranks as a result.

  11. The 2016 Coronation Double Century is going to be wide open. The absence of 2015 champions Dimension Data (then MTN Qhubeka) sees Giant –who held the title for four years before they were unseated last year – and Team Road Cover as the main favourites. Click here to view the article
  12. A long, one-day stage race, such as the Coronation Double Century, has a slightly different packing list than for your regular road event. Along with plenty of tubes, chain links and even derailleur hangers, your team will want to have the following: Click here to view the article

  18. Anybody willing to provide the dates for 2015 or does it still fall within the realm of Strategic Keypoint?
  19. The Coronation Double Century is a unique event for various reasons – not only is it a team race, but it’s also a time trial. For many recreational cyclists it represents the single biggest one-day effort faced all year, and the 202-kilometre loop from Swellendam, which includes the mammoth climbs of the Tradouw Pass and Op de Tradouw, will for many be their longest day on the bike.

  20. The Coronation Double Century is no Saturday morning coffee ride. You have to be fit and you have to be prepared. We speak to Johann le Roux, the only CDC participant to have completed all 22 events, about what it takes to get his team over the finish line. Click here to view the article
  21. Hi, Need advice on a comfortable saddle to purchase for a Double century type ride? I find that riding with my Sella Italia SLR Carbonia is not doing it for me over distances of 150km. I need to know based from experienced riders what works for them over long distances such as DC or Epic rides. I know there are MTB specific saddles but would you recommend a specific brand for road bikes. I am looking for recommendations on make, model and whether it is ideal for integrated seat posts (fit for purpose)? Thank you in advance...
