From PPA's facebook update:

 

 

 

The Chapman's Peak time trial on Sunday morning is free and open to everyone with a Racetec chip. 
Mats open at 5:30am and the last rider will be allowed over at 6:30am.
Entilini have given us until 7am to complete the TT.
Start: Chapman's Peak Hotel
Finish: Vehicle checkpoint, 300m before the top.
Times will be used for seeding purposes,not for the 2016 Cape Cape Town Cycle Tour though. That seeding has been completed.

Length and avg gradient of the course, anyone?

Thanks in advance

I'm led to believe the distance is 4.4km

Can't help with gradient, sorry.

It's a tad under 5km at about 3,6%.

 

And someone special has the KOM & QOM :)

Edit: that segment is from the bottom thus the TT from the hotel will be slightly shorter.

Nah 4% or less. The problem is if pros come out to ride it might not do your seeding any good.

 

Thanx for the info, Andydude

No intention to boost my seeding

Just considering testing the old pistons with other climb artists as I'll be training in the surrounding hilltops anyway
