CleatsnCleavage Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) From Dirtopia's Rozanne Dreyer, in an email to me in June: The total ascent for the 42km will be 1350m. There will also be a 50km route this year but it will be easier than the 42km route. The total ascent for the 60km race will be 1910m Edited July 24, 2014 by CleatsnCleavage nonky 1

The total ascent for the 60km race will be 1910mThats what I also read, then a couple of days later on FB it said 1650 or something like that. I`ll go with the 1650 :clap:
Sony Boy Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Interested for an entry for the 50 km. Please contact me.
Kooskoos Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Hi, if anyone has two 42 or 50 km entries I am willing to take them of your hands and buy them
dev null Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I so wanted to enter, but I cracked my ribs at the new rock garden on the southey vines trail 2 weeks ago.
markmad Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Why so many distances? I mean if you can cycle 42 then you should be good for 50? Same goes for 60 - 75? Perhaps I'm missing something .Or perhaps this is how you satisfy everybody's meeds.
Gideondv Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 75km = invitation only60km = hard race, lots of climbing 42km = hard race, lots of climbing 50km = a new flat option for newbies/less fit
dev null Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 The info we got was that the 42km is very technical with lots of climbing, while the 50km is an easy long ride for those that can do the distance but that does not have all the technical skills or the legs for climbing.

Perhaps someone here could elaborate on technical ability .I sometimes think I have some then then realise I have none, then realise the person who just passes me down a tricky section actually does it because its sitting on its brain and stuggles to climb the next incline .
