Jeri Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Does anyone know the route profile for this race - is it as hard as the action ford?
Li Mu Bai Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Climbing comes at the end of the race, after you have passed Rietvlei dam. What I would like to know, why on earth is there a 112km event (R250) and then a 101km event (R200)?this makes absolutely no sense? Is one supposed to cater for u23's and elites, or is it just to squeeze out another R50 for 11km? whats the point actually, the main race could have been 112km with no added fuss?Doesnt this also just double up all the seeding logistics?rediculous imo.

Ryan Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Also not sure which one to enter....think 112 is for elites and u23 only..maybe? That is right yes. A bit daft.
rouxtjie Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Oaky so the 101km is the one to do then?seems like it.
djsam Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 The 112km is for Elites, and it helps cater for slightly longer distances from my understanding , which makes sense there route is easier than Action Ford by far. Jeri 1

Slowbee Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 there is an extensive thread https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/135495-serengeti-classic-road-race-2014/ lets keep things tidy and carry that chat on there. Not going to merge them as it will cause some confusion - so just closing this one.
