Tankman Posted August 24, 2011 Share There was a guy selling these juicy medium rare huge fillet burgers with lettuce, tomato and peppercorns in these huge home made buns at the farmers market last year if he is there again, I might come and do the race?

Disylizzy Posted September 19, 2011 Share How doable / technical is the 36km? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted September 19, 2011 Share You can do it Lizzy! Lourensford does not have that much single track, its all short sections. They do have some lekka climbs though ... they whole farm is surrounded by mountains! The route profile for the 36km is pretty much ... up, up, up, level, up, up, down, finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TYGA Posted September 19, 2011 Share What's your total ascent on that profile Tank? Last year's Lourensford seemed a lot less brutal than the years before so wondering if they've toned it down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankman Posted September 19, 2011 Share What's your total ascent on that profile Tank? Last year's Lourensford seemed a lot less brutal than the years before so wondering if they've toned it down a bit. 1352m there was some small changes in the route between the Vinge and the Classic ... but I cant remember which was which now ... talk to me about filet steak burgers... they had them at the Classic not at the Vinge!
