2 X 2 Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Who's going to do this race? Looking at the map, it looks rather difficult. it goes over "Yskor bult", through Voortrekker Monument, over Klapperkop and ending at the Union building. Info at www.unite4mandela.co.za the map is under "Race day"
Nibali Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I'm super keen for this, it's in my stomping ground But it's going to be a tough one, those climbs are going to murder the legs and the groups will probably go full gas because it's a short ride.
2 X 2 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Posted October 23, 2014 Lots of uphills but also some great downhills
Super J Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 WOW!! Super awesome route but will there be roue safety, the short distance will make this very hard and aggressive?
2 X 2 Posted October 23, 2014 Author Posted October 23, 2014 WOW!! Super awesome route but will there be roue safety, the short distance will make this very hard and aggressive? According to the website, there will be some road closures and a lot of trafic officers on the route
