Is this not the advice we have given for this question that comes up the week before 94.7 every year?

I cant understand how the 94.7 has so little climbing. For a normal training ride we get way more climbing than the race. Even in our little chilled and short 70km we got more climbing than the race. Think they need to change the route next year to be more climbing and less sleep time.

Dude.

 

This is a FUNRIDE catering for charity and corporates. The majority of people riding this thing do it for fun.

 

You want to RACE and CLIMB, there are events for that.

 

Just a thought.

Basket, mudguards, chainguard... the usual kinda stuff

 

Looks like you have at least 12 secs in that breakaway move...

Ah drats!! Thought it was a timed event. My bad. FYI, charities and corporates are a relatively new concept compared to how long the event has been on. A fun ride is something you do on a Sunday with friends and dont pay for. This is a timed event that you pay for therefore a race.

 

If its a fun ride for charities and corporates, 90% of the people riding should not be on the road and well, someone better tell the Elites and A bunch before Sunday.

 

My comment was an observation based on how much climbing JHB has. The organisers have managed to find the only flat route in Jozi's northern suburbs. (Although they could move it to the South for a bit more flat)

If the race is too flat for you then you can just skip it.

Nobody forcing you to take part.

Besides if you decide to take part then you should easily win it.

 

If I remember correctly this was known as JHB toughest race.
