Suikerbosrand elevation gain?

[rudi-h]

I've got a mate from Nelspruit that's coming to JHB the weekend and the plan is to go ride at Suikerbosrand. He reckons we are dead slow for riding a 101km's in 4:40 (that's 1 small loop + 2 big loops). He asked me what the total ascent was, and from Google earth it seems to be 1417m per lap, which comes to 2478m for the full 101 km course.

 

Is this what you guys get on your GPS's?

I did 108KM in Suikerbosrand a while ago and got 2423m total ascent, this validates your number.

Sounds about right ...
