Rock Pedal Classic 2012??? Where to enter?

[T-man]

Hi all. In the beginning of the year I got a race calendar in one of the magazines. Think it was the Ride. Not sure. Listed was the Rock Pedal Classic Mtb race in George on 17 December 2012. I went on to the facebook page and it said 22 December 2012. Visit the Web page and it says 5 January 2013. Maybe I am being DOF, does anyone know anything about this race on the 22nd of December 2012. I desperatly want to do this one. Any contact details?? I have phoned the number on the web site..Voicemail.. I have also sent emails.. No reply..

Can Anyone please help?

[cbs Biker]

Their organising is a bit "deurmekaar". Seems they haven't yet made up their mind on which date to hold it, they will probably decide early December . Not a whole lot of people did this race last year so no need to hurry to enter early. Personally I wouldn't bother with the 45km race, was a bit of a mess last year - the focus seems to be on the 100km.

_{maybe I should do the 100km, as I did not enjoy the 45km,}

[T-man]

100km for sure... If I can enter....

What happend to the 2 day format ? Out the one day and back the next ?

[T-man]

Think thats called something else?

im going to ride the route tommorow to see if i can do the 100km, the first half is nice with my 3-4 times a week single track (its quite literally my backyard) and once you hit the top of montague pass it seems to be pretty straight and down.

 

ill see if i can get a hold of them too.

[Firemeister]

Don't be fooled. The 100 km is very tough, and montague is the easy part of the climb.. There is still duiwelsnek, bergplaas and the seven passes which makes this a killer. Nothing similiar to the easier old 2 day route

Yup.

 

...the top of the web page reckons it is the 5th of Jan 2013 and the bottom the 21st Dec 2012. Entries only open for the 2011 event though...
