what event page ?

[Keep Pedaling]

Some more details please. Is it on district roads or on a farm? Is there much climbing?

[cyclingfan]

The route is flat with no climbs. There are a few drags but is easy ride-able. There is quite a lot of single-track "these are tracks which were used by pedestrians but nice". There is also a few farm roads and also a bit of tarr road but it is short. The route is not very technical with a few stone crossings but not very long. There is also one or two drop-offs but they are not very high. The route has a very nice flow and is nice to ride. Hope this helps.

[Underachiever]

If the route is similar to previous years, it will be quite nice. Power riding all the way. A great training ride/race. Route marking was not to std at certain sections.

 

See u there!

Regarding the markings on the MTB route our cycling club did not host the previous MTB races but thank you for the tip we are definitely going to look into it.

Is julle ouens van secunda af? Sal graag wil deelneem maar weet nie presies waar dit is en hoe dit werk nie?

[cyclingfan]

<p>Nee van Springs af.  Daar sal line entries ook gedoen kan word as ek reg kan onthou. Die straat se naam waar Coca Cola Shanduk is, is op die Nigel-Springs (M63) pad.</p>

[Underachiever]

Yep, confirmed this morning - they will take line entries

Map to venue

[cyclingfan]

<p>I am unable to upload images but just google 1 Kern Road, Nigel.  If you come from Secunda on the N17 take the Witroad offramp and turn right onto Wit Road.  Keep straight with Wit Road over 2 bridges towards Nigel, the first bridge is just as you turned onto Wit Road. Turn right at the second robot there is a golf course on your left hand side after the turn.  If you come from JHB side on the N17 you will take the Wit Road offramp just after the school and turn left onto Wit Road.  Hope this makes sense.  The distance from Wit Road to the second robot is plus minus 15-18km.</p>
