Cois Posted August 24, 2015 Share And to think I was about to invite you over for a braai and a beer *smk*Is maar okay...I think oom Ben falls in that 1% group. Heck most of the people I have met from the Hub, falls in that 1%, but the attitude of the people last year, made me ashamed to be counted as a cyclist.People cursing other people, not giving way to others, and the law is seen in the same view as (most) christians see the biblical law, not to be applied to them.

bertusras Posted August 25, 2015 Share The one thing that pains me about this race, is that the one piece of Rosemary Hill we go ride, is the damn rockpebble section. I HATE that stuff. I threw a huge tantrum there on Sunday. Ugh. Is the singletrack at the beginning the same for 40 and 70? I'm doing 40. Looking at the route: http://snippets.mapmycdn.com/routes/view/embedded/827242173?width=770&height=330&elevation=true&info=true&line_color=E60f0bdb&rgbhex=DB0B0E&distance_markers=1&unit_type=metric&map_mode=TERRAIN We'll get a bit of open road at 2km for a short stretch, and again at 5km for another 2km. Then only again at 13km we have a bit of space it seems. That also coincides with the bit of climbing for this race though, so we'll see. One day I'll be able to say that.... To us mere newbie mortals 40km is a whole days work. That's how I feel about the 70! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banksy Posted August 25, 2015 Share Last year, getting out was a nightmare due to security checking cars at the gate. It took about 1h30 to get out. Any idea if this will happen again? Else anybody know where to possibly park outside? Can't remember seeing any parkable spots. Else will just need to hang around for 3 hours after the race and enjoy the atmosphere.

Had the same issue at Cornwall last year... seems the private schools will always be an issue in that sense. We are luckily a group of friends going so we will hang out and wait for the nastiness of post race driver rage to subside and then leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you just have to cycle the 1 or 2 km from there to the start. I cycle to and from the event and if I remember correctly that is one of the places I saw people parking last year. Another option will be to park at one of the shopping centers in the vicinity and cycle to and from the event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
