mtbgirlz Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Entered this, apparently tough Any thoughts or words of encouragement...
jmaccelari Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Comment: tough.Encouragement: you will survive. It's a great race. I just hope it doesn't p*ss down like last year!
greenhorn Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Does anyone have a route profile for the race. Can't seem to find one on the cycle lab website.
Minion Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Does anyone know if it will be possible to collect numbers on the day? The race office appear not to want to answer their phone or reply to my email.
1hill@aTime Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 seems like it will be great, hope my legs will handle so soon after r4s, same start time, hope the first climb breaks the group up, so it's safer...
MaxUmis Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I'd love to do this race this year... but alas... Don't know why people are so afraid of this race. It only has one proper hill.
Li Mu Bai Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 make sure you warm up well, the pace up Krugersdorp hill at the start line can be an unpleasent surprise and drop experience. From there on out it rolls...
Prozac Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 AL - 6h35 Missed this last year. Old records state its 102km ? ? ? (Racetec 2011)
Bassman Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Just remember the nasty cat eye orange stuff on the road at about 70-80Ks in the cradle! Hope the race officials are aware of this and will inform all the cyclist about it! You will come off very hard is you hit one of those !
TYWALK Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 i havent received my start time, did you guys get an SMS ?
Audible Anarchy Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 is this the same route as Dome 2 Dome last year (aside from hillsnacks in the beginning )?
Bassman Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 is this the same route as Dome 2 Dome last year (aside from hillsnacks in the beginning )? Sort of the same route. You are right hill snacks is in the beginning, but you go down Sterkfontein into the n14 instead of the Game reserve. But from there on it is the same!
mtbgirlz Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 AL - 6h35 Missed this last year. Old records state its 102km ? ? ? (Racetec 2011) EL @ 6h51 is that last???
