2012 JCP STEEL Octoberfest MTB Challenge - Heidelberg Gauteng

[scotty]

Where did all this talk of climbing creep in Suikebosrand is around the same distance and ascent and that's tar

Looks like i'll have to pack plenty HTFU.

 

 

The routes will be a mix of plenty singletrack, gravel and game farm roads. The routes are relatively

flat with occasional steep climb and descent. The 30km route is ideal for the novice rider and lesser fit,

but has enough surprises to keep the experienced rider smiling. The 60km riders are in for a huge treat

as the routes in the Suikerbosrant hills are new to even the locals and will be available to us only on

this day. Spectacular views guaranteed. Do not miss it!

Seeing that the race is sponsored by a steel company, do cyclists riding a steel bike get free entry ?

Great news. Just heard the Coco-Cola company will be a product sponsor!

Try this and when you have the route profile try export function. If there's no export function use capture function on keyboard. Then copy and paste into paint or similar photo editing program. Edit screenshot and then save as jpeg.

30km route and profile.

Must say the Google profile isn't extremely accurate as there are some spikes on the profile which does not really exist. Good news? More like 350-400m ascent.

60km route and profile. Heavy recent rains did not effect the route much. Still looking great.

Do I notice no online entries? When do pre-entries end and are they only via EFT?

Sorry, no online entries. Pre-entries till Thursday. If you wish, you can always just fax/mail the entry form/s and then pay at the venue. I know EFT can be a schlep sometimes.

I assume we will be issued with temporary boards and will not be using our SAS or ROAG boards?
