W@nna-BE Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 really wanted to do this race but wife has a "can't cancel" do on the saturday ! ;(
CrazyChild Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 An out of "Transvaal" race... and I just so happen to be in Scottburgh for the long weekend.. Think I MUST take the road bike along.Going to S-U-F-F-E-R on that 'incline' to Pinetown. Will the open group(s) be seeded? The 'incline' to Pinetown? How much of a suffer fest?
DaLoCo Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 The 'incline' to Pinetown? How much of a suffer fest? About 12 km at around 4-5%, the problem is going back down on the other side, so not too bad. You need to watch the lactic build-up...otherwise the last 50 km is suffer central, even though it is fairly flat.
LukeV-2 Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Im entered for both and super keen to ride some durban routes..
