ACM Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Do you have a profile or total ascent number for the 55km?
CogitoErgoSum Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 A few more details please. Hi Check out the cycleevents page. There is a link. I did the first race (55). The first portion of the 55 is relatively flat - but you have to work. There is no place to sit back and catch your breath. There were some technical bits in the first portion (up to 24km). As from after 24k's, I don't know. I got lost 4 times the last time. Gave up and went back. BUT, I know there is some very nice singletrack and ascents in the second half of the race. That's why I was bummed to have been lost TALUS 1

TALUS Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 It is really pleasing to see race organisers that listen to feedback and acts on it. Will do my best to get there.

Gen Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Good morning Hubbers , Difficult question today ...We have only received 22 entries ...Why ? I think a lot of folk going down to do Karkloof this weekend, could explain low entry.. and erm I didn't kniw about this one and.. Where the hell is Vissershoek? Edited May 6, 2014 by Gen
Bubbles2 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Its probably just because of the last race where virtually everyone got lost, including the lead motorbike. I think if you email everyone on your list and let them know how much you have learnt from the last experience and let everyone know how much markings have perhaps improved, that might go a long way... The route itself was very pretty and I would do it again, but other commitments on this weekend. Good luck, appreciate all local races in the area..

Where the hell is Vissershoek? Vissershoek is between Pretoria North and Brits - more exactly close to De Wildt Cheetah Rehab. Jammer Anton, ek is vas vir die naweek. Wou graag weer probeer na laas se verdwaal. Skies man
