Knysna Oyster festival 80km mtb ascent..?

[Firemeister]

That looks interresting.. And expains the reduced ascent

 

At least then we won't have to grind up Simola..

Yes but by looking at the profile it looks/feels as if it will be mostly long, not too steep climbs and then quick, steep downhills. Would prefer steep climbs and then elongated sections of downhill

 

Any idea what the profile/ascent will be like for the long road race, which is now 80km and not 100km.
