Emperors Classic 2016 (road)

[Frosty]

I saw your recce and maluti training ride on strava. Thanks for the info.

Just ignore the bit where I was sucking wheel [emoji13]

 

It's hard riding Endurance or Tempo when trying to stay on the wheel of these youngsters. Always attacking the hills.

Pot holes will be filled before the race.

Yourself due and Kalamer due and Carl due and was not there. Only that old couple. They only led me out to the start of the KOM and took it from there on

Just got an email from Discovery, I can get my whole entry fee back if I complete the race. (might have to wait a few months :-))

The ASG event entry systems sucks, what a mission to register for the race. Trying to phone ASG to get assistance is another mission  .

I battled to pay online last week.  It seems the issue was not resolved?

Nope, sent a mail to Payfast and ASG.

 

Still waiting.

Did ASG get the elevation totally wrong on their e-mails at 358m ?

Not sure but I can say it's FLAT. 40kph plus average speed for us last year.

 

Edit: do you think their figure should be higher or lower?

compared to my Strava profile from last year it was about 700m so this is almost 50% less.

They've used Google Earth which is not right, but then again which system is right?

 

Our recce gave just under 600m
