B20 Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Did the 40km last year. Was technical and tough but very enjoyable. I believe the 80km was a killer.....The 80km should be good training for the Atta....I am in for the 80km then .

Bonita Posted July 22, 2015 Author Posted July 22, 2015 Update: We have a new long route this year, now 85km and also going in the same direction as the 45km. Elevation 1600m, a bit (and only a very small bit) less tough than last year's route. The new route profile will be loaded end JulyAlso a FREE set of arm warmers to all online entries for 85km, and free buff to all online entries of 20km & 45km
Boerklong Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I will stick the 40-45km. Some hectic climbing in short distance.
Johny Bravo Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I will stick the 40-45km. Some hectic climbing in short distance.Agreed, gives me a lot more time to drink some lekka Van Loveren wines.
Klaradyn Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 This is one awesome race - I know the long route is tough, but you guys are tough! Well organised and everyone is so friendly! Amazing prizes!!!!! Definitely doing it again this year and the kids are riding as well!
Ironfist Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 So who is going to enter the 45? Does someone have a .gpx file of the 45km route? I did it last year but my stava stopped recording. What was the total elevation for the 45?
Lynnie_the_Snail Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Sad i'm missing this one this year.. always a fun and well organized event!
Nickster Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Does anyone know the actual elevation gain of the 45km route? the blurb says 550m and the elevation profile says 1000m
