Super Sywurm Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) I've never heard about the Eden Classic before, until today at my lbs. I started reading about the past races and wow, its sounds awesome. Who is doing the Eden Classic 2014 on 23 August and where do I enter the race. Edited July 29, 2014 by Super Sywurm

hboli4 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Have done it the last 4 years. Last year was a bit of a shambles with bad route marking etc. with the 75km turning into a 45km. New organiser this year so hopefully this will be sorted out. It is quite tough and probably the best race to do within a 200km radius from Bloem, some nice technical bits and good elevation (for the Free State).

Super Sywurm Posted July 30, 2014 Author Posted July 30, 2014 How does it compare in toughness with the Knysna Oyster Festival 80km race?

Jeeptrek Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 How does it compare in toughness with the Knysna Oyster Festival 80km race? A lot more technical single track than the Oyster festival. The Oyster festival has long climbs. I would put them on the same level of toughness with maybe the Eden Classic the tougher one. Super Sywurm 1
