Speed Racer Posted April 11, 2012 Author Posted April 11, 2012 will be there Excellent! What start group?
Speed Racer Posted April 11, 2012 Author Posted April 11, 2012 Climb up to Hekpoort, then rolling until Magalies, then the long, big climb out of Magalies. The back stretch has a couple of climbs, too. Nothing major, but enough to hurt your legs. Oh - and the Maropeng road can be a bugger.. Thanks! Anyone got the total ascent in vertical meters. The climb out of Magaliesburg is one of the hardest/longest I've done in Gauteng.
Speed Racer Posted April 11, 2012 Author Posted April 11, 2012 Will also be there. Keen to test the legs out after Epic Excellent! What group you in?

G-Unit Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 I have entered this race and received my SMS with start time. It is my first road race and I am clueless about how the seeding/batch starts work. My number starts with EL - I presume this is the batch that I am in. My start time is 7:47 - I'm guessing this may be a minute or so after after the sweep car starts up Also, does one get the Racetec timing chip at number pickup? Can anybody clarify this for me a bit? Thanks in advance!
