Grondpad Posted February 16, 2012 Share I did my entry today and thought that if you do the marathon you get a discounted price for the half marathon the next day, but I paid full price. Did I mis something or was the discounted price only for last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaShadow Posted February 20, 2012 Share Does anyone know how this year's profile compares to last year's? Last year had two major climbs and was a thriller of note. It seems as though, from the profile I saw, there is only one major climb this year, is the total ascend any less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dreaded "Sawmill climb" of last year has been removed from this year race, however you still have to deal with the legendary "Mamba Switchbacks". The total ascent is similar to last year, but the route is slightly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmonooit Posted February 20, 2012 Share The dreaded "Sawmill climb" of last year has been removed from this year race, however you still have to deal with the legendary "Mamba Switchbacks". The total ascent is similar to last year, but the route is slightly different. That was quite a climb, esp. after you have just come down from the first big climb. I see there is a bit of climb later on but at least we get to enjoy the view a bit longer (at least those of us who are not in a rush) and lets not forget those forestry undulations towards the end, where many a sense of humour has been lost.

Robrider Posted February 21, 2012 Share Doing 22psi back 20psi front, with Ikon Racing ralph combo. Really? How much do you weigh? Unless I'm mistaken that's about 1.3 and 1.5 bar. That's pretty low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubber88 Posted February 21, 2012 Share 72kg's. When you use high profile tires in 29" format you can go even lower without having handling compromises, obviously dependant on weight. The tires I use have 44mm of sidewall. 15psi = 1Bar. Edited February 22, 2012 by Dubber88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the weather forecast it looks like it will be dryish?We rode the last 20km of the Marathon route today...It rained hard yesterday afternoon and was overcast all day today so there are still lots of puddles, and the singletracks are a bit slippery, but the route is great! The weather looks to be clearing up by tomorrow, so the route should be 100% by race day! I will keep you all updated from tomorrow on twitter.
