Eugene Brown Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Been searching for hours, and can't find too much. USN site links to Spectrum Sport site, where I cant find anything! Does anyone have the different routes for the different distances, as well as the ascent/descent profiles for each of the routes? Would really appreciate them
nonky Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Don't know if this race is worth the effort - if they can't even get a route map out for ZAR195...

EmptyB Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Google USN Avianto Strava...the route doesn't change much
NotSoBigBen Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 May be just me but does anyone decide to do an event based on the route/profile? If so what do you base it on .... won't do races with more than x meters of climbing per km or if it goes through that area? Just trying to understand ....
arendoog Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 This is the best and probably hardest 50km route in Gauteng .If you manage to ride everything reasonably quick ,you will be knackered afterwards .

NotSoBigBen Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Most of the time I prefer not to know...Aye to that! Even if I've seen it I can't remember what comes when anyway so it's all a surprise .... ????

Only want to know 2 things, how far and how much climbing.
NotSoBigBen Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Only want to know 2 things, how far and how much climbing.Then what do you do with the how much climbing info? Decide to go or not ... or prepare differently?
PregoRoll Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 if its anything like the Equestria race last year its a toughie!
ahp005 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Did this race last year and it is an toughie. If I can remember correctly it is just over 800m of ascent.
jcza Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Then what do you do with the how much climbing info? Decide to go or not ... or prepare differently? Keep an eye on it while riding so I know whats left
Eugene Brown Posted February 23, 2016 Author Posted February 23, 2016 I'm new to racing, so just want to be sure what I'm getting myself into! The info won't really make too much difference, just want to see up front
