WesselvdWalt Posted May 12, 2014 Share Hey Guys, I've just returned from rooiberg and cullinan.I'll upload the route profiles for Rooiberg later today. Very minor changes over last year just focussing on a better rider experience regarding starts, batches, mergers before finish grooming existing trails and water points. We're bringing in a roller to compact lots of the "pebble" climb sections.We'll have a small teaser from the weekend on facebook during the week. Cheers!

WesselvdWalt Posted May 15, 2014 Share I'd like to hear from you guys what a fair minimum average speed is to do a ultra in ie. min 15km/h for a 120km 8hour finish time... Edited May 15, 2014 by WesselvdWalt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkie 2 Posted May 15, 2014 Share I'd like to hear from you guys what a fair minimum average speed is to do a ultra in ie. min 15km/h for a 120km 8hour finish time... If you enter the Ultra and need 8hrs to finish it then you should not enter the Ultra at all WesselvdWalt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted May 15, 2014 Share I'd like to hear from you guys what a fair minimum average speed is to do a ultra in ie. min 15km/h for a 120km 8hour finish time... Depends if you want to grow the Ultra field. If so then you need to make the cut off more generous. I would say 6 hours at 75km mark and 9 hours at finish.
