The wording on the website is the old message that they put up about 3 or 4 years ago when they did the original route change. They haven't updated the website since.

Ok

 

It's irritating when they don't put a map of the route on the cycleevents.co.za page. It makes us have to guess, assume, do detective work. So much easier if they just give us a map </rant>

So then it IS the same route as last year (lol) .. two years ago I was so slow through the township (cramping)... the Kids ran next to me scratching in my pockets ... mobile mugging by minors

Exactly a year since I started Road Cycling.

Was an awesome race, lekker fast & flat (If route is still the same) with a slight bump

 

Those railway tracks are a tad trickey, but nice route.

Looking forward to this.

Thanks Gary, these are always interesting. Hope I can be as fast as this bullet train (530km/hr)

I haven`t been on a bike since Tour de Durban due to work(so flippen unfit), so I decided to enter the 60km route only to look afterwards and see its a flippen 210km drive one way just to ride 60km.... Blah

 

Anyways I will still be there to get the legs going again(going to have to get out of bed at half 2 in the morning...Blah) as I have to get saddle time before Amashova.......
