Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge 2014

[CAAD4]

If I was to guess, I would say from the Jukskei to the Highway .

The one nobody has noticed or is talking about?

Diepsloot mall will be the best when you want your car covered under theft from your insurance.

So if you want a new car, gooi .

There is more parking at the new venue than was available at Woodmead, so parking wont be the issue. Rain (mud) could be the issue if it starts to rain next week.

Hi, I would like to know... whats a good av time to complete the 94.7 in?

my first one last year was in 4 hours, so im hoping for about 3:30. 

IMHO I think the times will be slightly slower this year. But if last year you weren't fit and had a bad seeding then you can knock 30 min off easily just with a better seeding.

Hehehe, that one

Yeah, but he was asking about Diepsloot Mall.

[Escapee..]

I need to warm up with a 20-30minute ride before the start.

 

Any idea of where a good parking spot would be?

[CAAD4]

Hehehe, that one 

Yep, the bunches are going to shatter like a Swarovski bowl on on a marble floor...

Sandton City. It's also safer than Diepsloot Mall....

[CAAD4]

Or you could ride in from Kempton.

So now, in this video:

 

at the 1:40 mark, which looks like the entrance to Steyn City...

That could be a bit hair raising right near the end at 40-60km/h... Filtering bunches through those gates.

Could add good spectator value...

 

Just saying.

Its a bit of an early start and the ride home after the race (and a couple of beers) wont be a lot of fun

Are they going to make us sign in the book too?

My plan is to park at either Monty or Epson Downs, depending on the traffic when I come off the N1. Epson Downs is 10km from the start. Monty is 9.4km. Fourways mall is also an option.

[Gornilla]

Where is the longest climb on the route?

At the start. Mnandi/"Pukes" hill.
