Jocklaw Posted April 7, 2016 Share Renegades?Myles has advised me that Ikons will be good enough for the job! I might still have some small block 8's hiding in the garage somewhere though. Marius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jocklaw Posted April 7, 2016 Share 160kms 2800 climbing, what do you guys reckon the winning time will be ? I'm hoping I can do it in under 6 hours, seeing it's all rideable, and the pros are normally 2 hours quicker than me in endurance events. sub 4 unrealistic?

For this one I reckon the winner will do it round about 6:30-7, I stand to be corrected but that is my best guesstimate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not 6:30 to 7 hours of riding. More like 5 hours. nathrix and Jocklaw 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathrix Posted April 7, 2016 Share Hmmmm good question! It's 55% tar and 45% gravel and then there's the Swartberg climb after having done just under 2000m of climbing already. Then that hectic descent to Prince Albert. I reckon a very strong rider should be able to do it in four and a half hours in favourable weather conditions. Me....I don't know. I'll be happy just to finish it as quickly as possible so that I can go drink lots of Glenhoff Craft beer on the stoep of the Swarberg Hotel!

@BigJohnSwan Posted April 7, 2016 Share Just another shameless punt for something I'm not (sadly) involved in: The Showroom Theatre. If they have something on when you visit, make a point of getting tickets, even for just a movie. It is a little Art Deco theatre as great as you will find in the West End, Broadway or Paris. I kid you not! http://www.showroomtheatre.co.za/about-us/ The best PR job I've seen for Prince Albert, I'm sure that you could freelance for Prince Albert Tourism.
