Sounds cool! What is the elevation on the 115km? I saw the profile but total elevation is not stated

[JGR]

[knippie]

[Jaco-fiets]

I can see the profile but would like to know total elevation as a figure

There is a race report from 2012 on Kevin Evans' blog - he says 1600m elevation.

 

Also check the thread of the 2012 event here on the hub. There are some statements about the total elevation from different riders.

How does this event compare to the Karoo2Coast? Harder?

[Bolla]

Last year we had a comment from one of the riders "This could easily become the West coast Karoo to Coast"

I would say a bit easier on the legs ,but harder on the bum.

I hope they extend the cut-off this year, now that the event is on the Saturday (was on a Sunday last year).

 

Realistically they should allow for 8 - 8.5 hours to allow for your below-average weekend warriors like me. The need will certainly be there with a larger amount of entrants.

 

I bailed at about 95km last year after 6 hours, knowing I wouldn't do 20km in an hour (and because I was knackered).

Forgot to add - a fantastic setting and event. Highly recommended. May yet return this year to get my revenge.

You made a good decision. The last 20km's was into a horrible head wind. A year later I still remember the pain, and then we missed the cut-off by +- 15 minutes or so :-(

 

It really is a beautiful ride and this year I will be back and I WILL make the cut-off. I took longer to do this race then K2C, but I think that was mostly due to the wind.

 

Climbing isn't bad, lots of little rolling hills in the 2nd half.

I think you being on your HT might have also taken its toll. You and your dad did well. Maybe see you there!!
