Rand Water Race for Victory

[bmw1za]

My first time doing this race... So how bad is it

[Escapee..]

Did it last year.

Flat track but pray that the wind stays away.

See you there!

If it rains, the dirt section turns into a mudbath

Also my first. Anyone know how much the total ascent is for the 110km? From the site it looks like it starts with a good hill and then has two small blips and otherwise quite flat.

[GrantRH]

Doesn't this go through suikerbosrand? Just road it this morning... it's definitely not flat.

Next Sunday sir!

Hmmm....after last year's "hell in the wind", I swore I would never put myself through this race again....I'm so confilcted!

[crasher]

Just do it if you survived last year this year has to be better

Yes 2 or 3 years back it was really bad

Unfortunately the beginning and end are missing due to their being no street view on that stretch.

Many thank, Gary!

I ride large sections of the 110km route almost every weekend with my training rides and honestly be prepared for the wind once past karee kloof, there is no shelter in sight and it almost always blows cross wind through there heading into henley. and then head or tail wind from henley to finish. Lets hope for tail this year but highly unlikely.

 

I hope they have fixed the pothole just as we make the right turn off verwoerd road heading back towards the red and white towers... real nasty section of road
