how was your karkloof

[Bat-ass]

Anyone know the total climbing in the 60km? It was an AWESOME route but there was a lot of climbing; I swear more than in hill2hill 105km even!

just interested to know the meters...

Anyone ??

 

Elevation gain 1464m on my Garmin

Max elevation was 1594m (top of larry's loop / lebanon)

min was 1018m

[Taps]

1320 on my Polar

[Bums]

last year 1532

this year 1457

flip is that all??

maybe hill2hill was just more spread out!?

 

It is nice to have some challenging climbs though I won't lie.

As someone's said, they have our sizes on the ROAG DB, so why not prepare accordingly.

 

 

The ROAG database wasn't used for the ordering of the cycle shirts because another online entry system was used for the Karkloof Classic pre entries...

Where do I check my results(mr price or roag)

[Edgar]

Both. There is a link on the race site.

What route would you suggest for a first-timer to this race? I usually do 30-40km races and had done one 70km race.

 

40km or 60km??

The 60km is tough. I'd recommend you stick to the 40km - you'll still ride most of the good stuff and you'll enjoy it more.

Agreed....The 40km is awesome

I find the Windguru app pretty accurate and only predicts rain later in the afternoon. Has not been too wet this autumn so should be okay.

From what time is the number collection on Sunday and how early do you need to be there to get parking and get sorted before the race? This will be my first Karkloof event.
