Andymann Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Does anyone have the .gpx or .tcx file for me of the four stages of the 2013 event - I see the organisers are now able to revert back to the original route after last years 3 stages, and I want to load them onto the TACX and do a bit of "past papers" Thanks
Long Wheel Base Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 I did the race in 2013. I use a garmin. Not so clued up on what files are what. If I have what you need and you can tell me what to do I can help you out.
Long Wheel Base Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 BTW whats up with the date change? The official letter says CSA made them change the date and I believe its because there is a clash with the vets tour on the same weekend. So this last weekend we had Tour Durban, Panorama and joburg2c. So why didn't they change any of those dates?

The simplest way would be to plug your unit in, and copy them directly off the Garmin (like you would do with a USB), otherwise, do you still use the older Garmin Training Center (easier) or Garmin Connect (a bit more tricky!) They should be in a folder called "activities" with a date as the name

Last year I was sick so I rode a back-up van and it wasn't nearly that exciting with only 3 stages

CASSIE1975 Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Hi Guys, Anybody maybe have the total ASCENT for the 4-stage Kremetart 175km please? Thanx. Keep well.
FlyingScot Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I am really looking forward to this one - I reckon it is going to be epic!
CASSIE1975 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I am really looking forward to this one - I reckon it is going to be epic! Agreed this will be my 2nd Kremetart...first one in 2012 it's a great race with an awesome atmosphere leading up to the race and also the Saturday night with the Potjie's brewing on the side and the Beer (post race carbo-loading) in the one hand with another "back-up" beer waiting on the table in front of you...LOL Training did not pan-out as planned...so will just ENJOY (not racing) the race and the pre- and post-wibes with my wife and other friends joining us (for their first time). Enjoy and travel safe this race should be one each and every cyclist's BUCKET list, as they cater for BOTH road and MTB events.
FlyingScot Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 So guys...how bad is that first hill for us first timers?
Andymann Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 It's a constant drag of about an average 4% - it bites in places, but if you tap it out nicely, you should be fine. Try and reach the tunnel at around 45-50 minutes, and then recover downhill to reach the left turn at about an hour. If you can do that, then you are having a good ride! Leave something in the legs for the last 5km though - there are some false flats which can really hurt!
