Turn left onto the R44, and left again onto the second Voorpaardeberg Rd. Turn left near the Sonop Winery, right at the T-junction and left again onto the R302. Cyclists then turn right at the silos and right again onto Philadelphia Road before returning to Durbanville via Adderley Road. The 48.5km route turns left at the R312/R304 four-way intersection and rejoins the long route at the silos.

'Dale Posted October 20, 2011 Share This is a roller fest with a possible final turn & finish into the South Easter, considering seasonal trends.So, spare some matches for the final 30 kms and a series of tough rollers in the final 10 kms to the finish. I plan to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disylizzy Posted October 20, 2011 Share I'm there, but for the shorter route! I can roll outta bed 10 min before the start and still be there early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny K Posted October 20, 2011 Share I wonder if it is for the 1st 500 entries of the 1st 500 to register? how do we check how many entries have been received already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Mike Posted October 20, 2011 Share I wonder if it is for the 1st 500 entries of the 1st 500 to register? how do we check how many entries have been received already?I was wondering the same thing. I entered in about two weeks ago. I ride in N group, so no need to be so early. Might lose out if it is the 1st 500 hundred to register. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankman Posted October 21, 2011 Share Oh yea, this is the one where they try and pile 250 cyclists, approaching at speeds in excess of 50km/h, into a single file 15m after the finish line, to cross the one and only stupid time matt! Let's see if the can sort it out this time? PPA are aware of this! Edited October 21, 2011 by Tankman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the one Well, it only affects the elite and SV guys that are sprinting for the finish, so I am not bothered :lol: But, I remember the thread last year, and how the guys complained about it. Was not ayoba! I even thought it was a little bit stupid of them to only have one timing mat and not the usual two mats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
