L.T.G Posted October 17, 2012 Share I last did this race two years ago, must have been about 36 or 37 deg that day, scorcher, came back to find a tin of coke had exploded in my car!Looking forward to a cooler ride this time round! Everyone (organizers included) was caught off guard by the heat that day.i remember reading some guys picking up readings of mid 40's on various devices that day!Saturday, by the looks of things will be warm, but not like that!

Rusty250 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Careful in regards to the Jacaranda Classic........ getting to the Trail Seeker To help planning routes to get to VG or allowing sufficient time to wade thru the bikes starting at just after 6!  See map http://www.cyclelab.com/Uploads/Documents/Jacaranda%20Classic/SatelliteClassic_RouteMap2011.pdf I would have been late for my start, Guaranteed!!!

Swift01 Posted October 18, 2012 Share can't decide to go the krugersdorp way or the peacanwood way to get there. What time does the road race start? May be able to miss the roadies by going krugersdorp very early.

Over Saartjie`s neck, trough Schoemansville around the back and in? Trying to go past Pelindaba is going to be crazy. vinny, go rustenburg highway...take the pta west off ramp, then the r513(past where voriberg starts.) keep going til t junction, turn right, at sasol turn left. follow that road over the 4 ways stop til you get to VG Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/114786-event-nissan-trailseeker-4-van-gaalens/page/10/#findComment-1817422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
