Thedocter43 Posted August 9, 2012 Share I really want to do it but I just need to know if its safe or not? E.g. full road closures etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Anarchy Posted August 9, 2012 Share Last year was a bit congested coming back into sun city / narrow finish line due to people protesting / toyi -toyi'ng something or other. otherwise fine. but ja, its not totally closed off to traffic. Only the bigger ones like Amashova, Argus, 94.7 etc.. are fully closed off to traffic. just keep your wits about you as with any time you ride your bike and you will be fine.

Agteros Posted August 10, 2012 Share I'll be there! Going to suffer as well. Will be the first time I'm riding the new route so I'm not expecting miracle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Pedaling Posted August 10, 2012 Share "does any one know the route profile of the 50/60km mtb race?" Flat like a pancake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smolly Posted August 10, 2012 Share Few hills in the first half, then fast and flat! Unless they have made some major changes to the route. Will fish and find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabe Posted August 10, 2012 Share It's more of a meander through the bush surrounding Sun City. A bit of riding of the golf car roads on the Golf Course, and a bit of riding through the Game Reserve.Not much in it, but still a nice ride.

Smolly Posted August 10, 2012 Share Just in from a reliable source. Will be almost exactly the same route as last year, but they might change the direction, but not confirmed as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHOLD Posted August 10, 2012 Share If you just want to ride 115km for fun, I suppose it will be fine.But if you want to race for a position, the many, many big speedhumbs and even stopping for a passing train are not so great.Last year they "only toyi toyied" but the Implats hostles are far from peacefull at the moment.After 7 years I skip this one!

mojopup Posted August 10, 2012 Share Until they have Road Rangers or TB marshalling, I will sit it out. Year before last I had a scary incident with a kid trying to push me off my bike so unless there are marshalls doing route patrols like at Fast One etc, I am not coming near that race.

Seeker911 Posted August 10, 2012 Share I'm doing 5150 on the 25th so gonna give this a miss this year. but yes at the moment with winter coming to an end and not much cycling done up to now anything like this is gonna be hard and painful work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carsten Posted August 11, 2012 Share The registration is a bit of a pain, currently I am residing in Carletonville, now to I have to drive around 120km one way on either Monday or Tuesday to register is quite a hassle. Now it is during office hours when the majority of us are working.Then if I cant make it on Monday or Tuesday to drive close to 200km one way on Friday just to register is also a bit much. Also to stay for the weekend is too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yahoo Posted August 11, 2012 Share Can't we just register the morning before the race??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
