bmw1za Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Anyone from the Randburg area want to share lifts?I'm in Northcliff but gonna rush straight to work (sorry), will ask my buddy and update you in a bit
bmw1za Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 I'm in Northcliff but gonna rush straight to work (sorry), will ask my buddy and update you in a bitSorry bud, he is gonna travel with me to work after the race .
bmw1za Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 It's not a very hard climb, the problem I had last year is that the hammer went down on the climb and if you cant hold the bunch it can be a bit of a windy ride back (as someone has already mentioned). So try and hold onto your group on the climb and if you cant hold on, try and form your own group with a few others, it will make the return trip a bit easier. As a guideline, there seems to be a segment of the climb on Strava http://app.strava.com/segments/724194 It gets to a max of 7% gradient. I did a training ride today... 7% gradient , almost lost my lungs
GaryvdM Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Sorry bud, he is gonna travel with me to work after the race . No problem. Thanks for checking.

Butterbean Posted August 9, 2013 Author Posted August 9, 2013 Must say, that rain and wind was a real bummer! But race went well, pushed a decent time which I'm happy with! Bmw1za,well done on the three second advantage! Haha that's what I get for freewheeling! But a load of fun nonetheless, good to see so many turn out! The Casino entrance was a shambles, organisers should maybe mention about the heavy parking fee beforehand...
