Put like that it's easy!

 

hahahah its not that bad, its a pearl of a route. I am glad they took out the church and blixem....and replaced with oom piets and savanah hills.... They make us eat our veggies now and then pudding home....not a bit of pudding then some ertjies, then another happy pudding then some carrots like it would have been with chuch and blixem.

 

Here was my prediction

 

 

I have a feeling they will do the stock standard race route to the concrete slabs...down the other side by tant miems.... and then at the t-junction will take you left again and then right to the satellite climb....probably take you out a bit further, down the mountain again joining the road to hekpoort....right..then left into oom piets....then church with jou blixem...and river to end....

 

the part in bold I got wrong...but the rest...spot on. The full river is baie lekker

Sounds like I went too easy on the Marathoners.... there's still time to change it. :devil:

Lets hope it is not as cold as today. My only decent training ride left is tomorrow morning. Groenkloof is going to wonder if I'm there to cycle or ski.

Don't worry about the cold, you'll be warm when you get to the top of concrete strips

The cold makes my nose runny. What works for this? I spend so much enegy sniffing and trying to breath that it definitely affects my riding a snotskoot :nuke: . I have not tried covering my face yet but am scared that affects the breathing too. Other option is the blowhole trick... not pretty.
