GoLefty!! Posted February 18, 2015 Share nope they haven't even responded to how 34% weighting and 34% weighting adds to 100% seeding yet.

Bianchisti Posted February 18, 2015 Share Hi y'all, some more newbie's questions:Exactly how long and steep is Chappies? and Suikerbossie? I had a look at the profile map but I find it hard to estimate the distanceChappies max grade of 6%. Mostly 4-5% for max 3kms.Suikerbos slightly steeper and shorter. We should all really refrain from calling Chappies a "climb". Seriously. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/110811-chapmans-peak/?hl=+chapman%20+peak%20+gradient Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/142524-cape-town-cycle-tour-the-argus-2015/page/72/#findComment-2552697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boerklong Posted February 18, 2015 Share My seeding got worked out on Porcupine Ridge 30km, Java 45km and karoo 2 coast 100km. Got a 3f start group... happy Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/142524-cape-town-cycle-tour-the-argus-2015/page/72/#findComment-2552732 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Buttox Posted February 18, 2015 Share Not far off, but I still would love to do the Stelvio before I die, which I believe should get that honours.Having been to the top of the Galibier on a day when by miracle the one side of the Valley was a dark, grey and full of snow and at 180 degrees it was a sunny green Valley for miles and miles, I still think Chappies is right up there. The climb however... Pffft. It's a tiny bump.

Rotiringer Posted February 18, 2015 Share Does a 1C start sound right for a seeding index of 12.12? Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/142524-cape-town-cycle-tour-the-argus-2015/page/72/#findComment-2552802 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted February 19, 2015 Share I actually find Smits to be tougher than Chappies and Suikerbossie, depending on the wind.Chappies is about a 30 minute climb for average fit person I think, and Suikerbossie maybe 15 - 20 minutes. (Correct me if I am wrong)They both beautiful climbs so sit back enjoy the scenery and before you know it you will be over the top Even from Noordhoek to top of chappies(little chappies+chappies) a average fit rider should be way less than 30 min. Its easy to check, Go see on strava to about the 2nd page and that should start to be your average fit guys. Anyone above that is pro or in a car.
