RocknRolla Posted August 28, 2012 Share Entered this race for the first time, looking forward as Kingskloof is my regular training ride. (although on the route description they mention the "manageable bits" of KK only) i can only imagine the bottlenecks at some of the "less manageable" (???) bits not keen on the first tar climb...but it'll spread the field nicely. Hubbers that have done this race - gimme some feedback if you can - likes and dislikes...

john_deer Posted August 31, 2012 Share Doing the 40k. My first event in a long long time. What should I expect? Riding with my girlfriend and we not going to be in a rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtbBarbie Posted September 5, 2012 Share I've done it two years in a row, it's an awesome course. The first section through the Mogale grounds are nice and rocky with some wicked descents!! The sections through KK are, as advertised, mostly rideable! There is one tough climb, called Hospital climb if I remember correctly. Very rocky and seems to go on for days... The descent out of KK is stunning, make sure you take in the view!! From here you go under a bridge and do a rather boring part of Kings. Then it's the last leg back toward Silverstar, which has some awesome rocky sections and a slight climb. It is a bit short in my opinion, but a testing route! I don't recall any bottlenecks in the past. Can't wait for Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanScalpel Posted September 5, 2012 Share I did this race in 2011 for the 1st time and I'm back in this year! I thoroughly enjoyed it last year; the combination of climbs, technical bits, scenery and toughness is great in my opinion! A very worthy "testing" ride as MtbBarbie said. For those interested, here's the route and profile I tracked last year:http://www.sports-tracker.com/#/workout/SeanRademeyer/f91roumi194ekksd MtbBarbie and RocknRolla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
