Cheese Posted September 27, 2013 Author Posted September 27, 2013 MTN het nie Kontrak vir borgskap hernu nie eers omtrent 15 September finale go ahead gekry. Omtrent maat ses weke voor race.
hboli4 Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Will be there, doing both the mtb and road races again. I like the fact that they are on consecutive days unlike the bigger events where it is held on different weekends.
Cheese Posted October 3, 2013 Author Posted October 3, 2013 Is it worth the drive?I would say yes. janneman72 1

Jakkals. Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Will be doing my 3rd one this year. Is the route the same as last year? I did my first one in 2009 and I can say, that the route last year was much better than 2009. Those consecutive climbs got to me

Those consecutive climbs got to me Yip, in 2009 you did all your climbing at the start. Now most of it comes after about 75-80km plus there is that long drag almost at the end. Much better and testing route I think.
CASSIE1975 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Also my first one this year looking forward to it
Garfield2010 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I did my first one in 2009 and I can say, that the route last year was much better than 2009. Those consecutive climbs got to me A few climbs or not it doesn't compare to races like the 94.7km... The OFM Classic is a fast race. That portion on the highway is a free ride if you are in a bunch... The race actually only starts once you go back to town after passing the airport.. I have ridden sub 02h40 OFM but have never gone under 03h15 in the 94.7 or the Argus for that matter..... Oh and those climbs are short and steep. Nothing that a few spin classes would/should not sort out...
Garfield2010 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 The OFM is logistically a dream race....... Not overcrowded at all... You can also actually park like 200m form the start... Don't try that in Joburg... At the 94.7 by the time you get to the start you have already sweated up a few climbs!!!
