Breezer Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Event Name: Namaqua MTB ChallengeWhen: 29 October 2011Where: Vredendal / Die Keldery, Western CapeCategory: MTBThe 56km route consists of about 90% jeep track. The climbs are mainly rocky and technical. Rewarding views of the Olifants River valley awaits the effort. Some fast down hills with hair raising bends. This route requires fit and experienced riders. Good climbing skills are necessary. Rocky hills and sandy tracks will definitely test your skills and abilities. The 32km route is mainly jeep track. The climbs can be rocky in some places and also very steep. But for every up, there must be a down, and in this case it’s no different, with fast paced descents all the way. For fit riders this will be a walk in the park, for the not so fit it will be harder, but an unforgettable challenge. The 10km route is aimed at beginners and kids.

Breezer Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 SKAAP KOP (SHEEP HILL) Challenge: The first rider who manages to cycle up Skaap Kop wins a sheep (cut and packed)
Breezer Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 How long is the hill and at what gradient?It is about 600m long and the maximum gradient is 23.7 according to google earth. That is not the problem though. The surface is is full of fist size round rocks. I do believe someone will be able to do it. The pic was taken on top of the climb.
Jaco-fiets Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Breezer you better get that lamb packed then. I would like it in packets of 4 chops pls
Jaco-fiets Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Breezer what is the total elevation for this race?
Breezer Posted September 26, 2011 Author Posted September 26, 2011 According to google earth 1300m. I am not so sure how accurate this is.This pic is the steepest part of Skaapkop.
Jaco-fiets Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) Sjoe! That pic looks gruesome How far into the race? 1300m of climbing is a serious! Edited September 26, 2011 by Jaco-fiets
Breezer Posted September 27, 2011 Author Posted September 27, 2011 Sjoe! That pic looks gruesome How far into the race? 1300m of climbing is a serious!about 12 km into the race. The medium and long route must go up this climb.
