This event will also be the first league event (Pro Classic series) of 2012. All routes head out along the R304 in the direction of Stellenbosch. The 50 km route will turn left onto the Kromme Rhee Road to join up with the R44. Cyclists will then turn left and tackle the rolling hills along the R44 before turning left on the R312 for another rolling hill or two and making their way back to the venue. The 80 km and 108 km routes will head to Stellenbosch to climb over Helshoogte before descending past Boschendal. From there cyclists will pedal in the direction of Paarl and onto the Suid-Agterpaarl road. The 80 km participants return to the finish via the R312 and its rolling hills, while the 108 km riders continue to the Windmeul / Voor-Paardeberg Road before returning to the finish via the R302. The finish for all three distances will be on the R302, with a neutral zone back to the venue. Pre-entries (at reduced rates) close on 9 January (after which late entry fees apply), so get your online entry in soonest! Late entries will be taken on the day as well. Remember to wear your PPA road funride number. Edited January 6, 2012 by ' Dale
Meezo Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Is this a new race, or an old race that's been renamed?

I think: If MTB_Roadie is jumping into the fire of League.... then.... you... possibly? ummmmm.... NOT!!! Dunno if I will make the other league races so it becomes a bit of unknown territory 'Dale, I thought we discussed this one already - start our league careers in Spring 2012? Need to get used to the new bike. Well that's my excuse and I am sticking to it.
dommisse Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 I might try and tag along - i seem to be a bit off the pace since D'Ville race though
