T-Bob Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) **Not sure if this has been started already. I did look through a couple of pages but couldn't find anything. Apologies if I've doubled up** --------------------- So who's trying to shake off the extra kg's from xmas with this little leg stretcher? 70kms including Old Boyds shorts side, Ou Kaps short side, a bit of Blackhill then a blast through Smit's, misty, oceanview and home. Could be a tough day considering a couple of nasty climbs early on and an almost guaranteed high pace due to the short course. 70 km: From the school in Fish Hoek, cyclists will head out along Fish Hoek Main Road to Kalk Bay to tackle Boyes Drive. Turn left at the Westlake Golf course towards the Westlake Business Park and left again for the second big climb of the day, Ou Kaapse Weg. At the four-way Sun Valley intersection, cyclists will continue over Blackhill and then head out along the coast to Simons Town, Smitswinkel and Misty Cliffs. Turn right at the Soetwater intersection to Ocean View and again right onto Kommetjie Road to the finish. There will be a neutral zone back to the school. Edit: Anyone got a profile of the route / gain? Edited January 6, 2014 by hellocolour

milky4130 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I was considering this but we have league race the Saturday. Also haven't entered yet, if DMC doesn't take entry I will.
Donovan Le Cok Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Entered! I was going to do the Saturday race in Philadelphia but this is so much closer to home.
DJR Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Entered and (not?) looking forward to it after a lazy December.
