KevinRhino Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Anyone know what the road surface is like around the back of this route?
Frosty Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 There are a few rough sections on the R550 approaching the R23 (both directions).Potholes will be fixed/repaired before race day
Frosty Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 The road surface is actually not too bad... when compared to previous years.There are a few holes here and there, but nothing too bad. Remember that entries are available through www.germistonclassic.co.za (direct link)

Frosty Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 One week left to enter online. Good news - we've negotiated with the Dial Direct Pothole Brigade to fix the potholes, not sure who's more excited - them or us.
Skaap Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 ya please people... save the cyclists and fix the potholes.... And marshals with common sense is also a plus. Not like at emperors where you had to ask which way to go. Or at the one intersection where there was a man handing out papers in the middle of the road. The marshal should have told him to get the hell out of there. I feel better now.... thank you
Joker Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I always enjoy this race - nice fast and flat - for big people like me little drag in the middle not a problem. Looking forward to it
Joker Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 On a side - why was this race not listed on the supercycling webpage?

On a side - why was this race not listed on the supercycling webpage?It's all about cost, or at least finding ways of keeping the costs down.Will it affect the final numbers?? Time will tell
