Malpiet Posted February 6, 2014 Share It really depends on what group you start in and what the group menatality is like on the day. The higher the seeding group, the faster pace they will go off at. So even though its "Flat" one can find oneself working really hard to keep with the group. The wind compounds this issue further making it harder. The climbs at the end are not the end of the world if you have managed to save yourself and keep in a group all the way round. Some more detail of the route please, got butterflies in me tummy for this race dont know why. starting in J-Group hopefully it will be a leka ride worried about the 3 climbs at the end havent done visserhok in a while and did not have time to ride the route.

Skubarra Posted February 6, 2014 Share I'm in % too. Don't how that happened because I don't belong there. Thinking of rather starting with the A or B group Also in %. The way I see it, given that the route is fairly flat the first 80km you should be able to hang on even if you're a bit "outclassed". And getting dropped on the last few climbs and TT'ing the last bit home on your own is not a biggie.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micky Mouse Posted February 6, 2014 Share Great to see all the signboards all over Durbanville! "99er cycle race Saturday from 06:00 - 13:00 - expect delays on Vissershok road" ( something like that) How's that for event planning! :thumbup: Edited February 6, 2014 by Micky Mouse mikkelz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky4130 Posted February 6, 2014 Share $ for me. Has anyone gone toInspect the gravel stretch yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allez Posted February 6, 2014 Share Went to check out the gravel road. Some might like it, others not. First 1km is the worse, but I saw lots of trucks on that piece of road. They are also fixing some potholes on the stretch just before the Vissershok climb. milky4130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
