The Guy in Pink Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 See they say you reach 90 km/hour on descend . Wow that is scary.Willsee if I can make the trip for this one. Some years ago I used to ride the route about once a month, setting out from home at about 2:30 am. Going through the tunnels without a light at 3am was "interesting"Going down the mountain I just followed the white line, and once when I it got light enough for me to read my cycle computer I discovered my maximum speed down in the dark was 86km/hr

krl747 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Great event but hated the lunch last year, it was rank\ But the soup for breakfast was the bomb!!!!!!!!
Longrange Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 This race..well our club looks at it as more like a bonding weekend, the atmosphere is amazing, the local are out in force, the ride is long hard and the beer at the end makes it all worth it. This is a jol...
krl747 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 See they say you reach 90 km/hour on descend . Wow that is scary.Willsee if I can make the trip for this one. And you go through a dark tunnel at those speeds, going from light to dark at 70km/h -90km/h is quite daunting!

djsam Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 And you go through a dark tunnel at those speeds, going from light to dark at 70km/h -90km/h is quite daunting! not once but twice .. the first tunnel was unnerving not being able to see the rd... second was okay..
Sani Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Fantastic Race , did My first in 2013 , Will be back for the soup after Stage 1
Blue Monster Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I did it last year.Booked accommodation for 2014 the day we left.Great race. Just lunch last year was a problem. We will take our own lunch in a cooler box on the tog bag bus.My SO went on the supporter bus, and by the end of stage three, they had convinced the Premier to arrange booze from the local shebeen.She insists that I book the bus for her again this year.
