Race for Victory 15/9/2013

Haven't they thought about putting a layer of tar on this road if it's been like that for so long? 900m on dirt... eish

[Ozzie NL]

rule #5 mate! It's really not that bad if it doesn't rain. The organisers go to a lot of trouble in the days before to make it as safe and pleasant as possible.

 

Thought about it and have to conclude that I am simply to soft for dirt without dikbande. Am out.

Will do a long cradle ride instead ON TAR

I must say the piece is not that bad , have done the race four times and never had any issues. Have heard of guys with pices of stones getting stuck in their fork rubbing against tyre . But it is not that Bad.

 

Taring this section will not cost more than 1.5 million to those saying why they do not just tar the road quickly.

[Blokman]

If it doesn't rain that dirt piece is insignificant. It is often used by roadies during training rides.

Don't let it stop you from doing the race.

[Blackadder]

I agree, the dirt is a non-issue in dry weather. Does anyone have an .gpx file from last year's route? Not the pre-2012 route that went through Suikerbosrand.

[Jacques999]

Awesome race love the gravel part last year the AL bunch was split on that section off dirt road due to the mud

[wonduhboy]

anyone got a GPX file for the race?

[NotSoBigBen]

The GPX file is a bit big but PM me an e-mail address and I'll mail it to you!

[RastaMan]

Anyone keen to make a nice group to pull us all home?

[NotSoBigBen]

Dunno what I was last year but in HL ... it's Ok I live just down the road so I can sleep in

[crasher]
