Hexpas Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 Where can I find a route profile for the 55km?Here it is...
Hexpas Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 See profile of route on www.pedalpower.org.za, as I struggle to upload it
Hexpas Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 ek sal moet kyk..ma die 35km is nie so erg nie wil jy gan?maak jou net reg vi KOUD! ha ha haaa soos die true cape weer ma met 'n ys windjie(wat so deur jou lyf waai) by oja en net die 1ste 10 verby die finish, van elke distance kry 'n medal, die res kry 'n eco trek two tunnel mtb challenge water bottel!Hierdie jaar kry almal weer medaljes...
SeaBee Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Stupid question...  The 35 is said to be not very technical - so as pretty much "a roadie on a mtb" this should be suitable for me, I presume. How's the 55? The same technically-wise, just more climbing? Or is it more technical? (Keep in mind what "technical" means for a roadie-on-mtb-types!) Seriously contemplating entering, but don't want to klap my name with a plank. (I do that often enough without having to drive to De Doorns for it! )  And please be honest! I don't mind doing the 35 rather than the 55 if I am going to have to walk half the way because of technical sheet... Don't mind the extra climbing, it's the rideability thereof that concerns me. I think I just klapped my name with a plank anyways asking this... so what's new?!

CatGirl Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Hierdie jaar kry almal weer medaljes... alrighty then sien uit daarna om al die de doorns mense weer te sien
brussel Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Both rides are non technical the only caveat is the descent needs to be taken with caution as there are some holes and washouts but any roady should be able to do it

SeaBee Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 So you're saying it more of the same?! I may curse myself for this after 20 k's, but then I'll go for the full monty. Will most likely suffer a bit, but what the heck! Thanks for the feedback. If you see someone pushing downhill, smile and wave as you pass, that may be me!  hayleyearth, can't you upgrade to the other route?
Berry Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Pansie Berry you are hopefully doing the 50 k!no 35 for me,if the weather is fine maybe a 50, you going?
rob! Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 no 35 for me,if the weather is fine maybe a 50, you going? Â Probably! I'll find you after the race and you can tell about your technical challenges!
SeaBee Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Hey, you're telling me not to be a pansie and then you do the 35?! Â Anyways, just entered - 55k's here I come! I suspect the valley of Afkukia awaits me.
