Pure Savage Posted February 16, 2016 Author Posted February 16, 2016 I'd be keen for this! (Now that I know I find my legs at 160-170km only) You should do a 40-50km loop before all races start
HdB Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) IF this ride goes through Golden Gate, the following two fun bits await: Lichens Pass: https://www.strava.com/segments/1137244Mynskag: https://www.strava.com/segments/6827657 Rode them this weekend, with my MTB...

News bot Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Twenty four years ago, the Pedal Power Association organised the “Double Century” over 200 km for the first time. That year, 229 finishers were listed. Over the years, the venue and route changed from time to time, but the concept of a 12-man team time trial over roughly 200 km remained.Click here to view the article Wez-O 1
Eon du Plessis Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Ouch. Gorgeous part of the country and I'm sure this event will be popular.

Mike Bike Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 PPA CEO was on supercycling discussing it! in Clarens
Underachiever Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Should be an interesting route. The Clarens-Bethlehem-Fouriesburg loop is 120 km, so I would guess they added a 30km out and back portion towards Golden Gate? Not that clear from the profile.
HdB Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 There used to be a relay race in that area - started and finished at Bethlehem, via Kestel, Golden Gate, and Clarens. But that was about 160km. The pictures show Lichen's pass... that section to the Glen Reenen campsite hurts.
