HBO Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Hi everyone, this will be my first R4S. Can anyone help with a Strava file and some helpful tips wrt the route, venue (traffic wise) etc. Is there a good vibe and decent food/ drinks available after the race? What is the elevation gain of this race? What is a good "target" time to do this if one wants to do a sub 3 Argus.

Long Wheel Base Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Lekker Ride. Its as close to the argus(CTCT) as you'll get for time. If the weather plays ball and you don't have mechanical issues in either race your times should be very similar.
Nick Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Can anyone help with a Strava file and some helpful tips wrt the route, venue (traffic wise) etc. I found this segment on Strava: https://www.strava.com/segments/986555 Not sure if it's still relevant.
Zatek Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Isn't this the same weekend as SA's?Yes but it won't be easy

Here's another link - https://www.strava.com/activities/255116989 Just 1 toughish climb at around the 60km mark.Venue has enough parking and gets busy so be there early. Not sure about the food/drinks afterwards.

Not sure about the food/drinks afterwards.I would say there is 2 climbs. One before Hofveldts restaurant and the other when you exit Heidelberg. Also the last 30km is normally a cross wind from right to left.
scotty Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Keep something in reserve for the R23 leg, it's undulating from all the way from Heidelberg. Plenty parking, food and drink and if you want massage tent.
