jcza Posted March 23, 2016 Share we talk about average speed, not time Correct....Like the 100m is faster than the 400m. Not time but speed. You know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted March 23, 2016 Share I've never done the current route, only the old one so I can't offer much of a comparison. Another fast and flat race either way. At least with this route, most of the 100km groups will be finished before the 70km groups join the route at the 4-way stop. It was nice having the race on Saturday to make for a free "rest of the weekend". Agree, I really enjoyed doing this on a Saturday as one could take family and chill at Sun city for the day. Pity they have changed to a sunday, probably wont enter it this year for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickleberry Posted March 23, 2016 Share I'm Keen for this. Logistically from the west rand, is it worth driving in on race morning or is it advisable to stay close by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AryM Posted March 23, 2016 Share I'm Keen for this. Logistically from the west rand, is it worth driving in on race morning or is it advisable to stay close by I know some guys who travel on the morning & spend the day there with their families as cyclists get free entry.Staying over is much better, but depends on finances & availability.I stayed over at the Cabana's & they provide special breakfast for the cyclists & start pen is a nice warm-up from the accommodation.

bmw1za Posted March 23, 2016 Share This is the race where i bonked so badly a few years ago, i rode so slowly that i got mugged while on the bike by the chok-lit screaming brigade , helped themselves to my pockets I drive through alone from the westrand every year(normally very cold), no traffic so its a cool cruise, then have chow after the race and cruise back home . I'm In for this one for Sure ! ... way too many fun times with fellow hubbers suffering in the wind , make more memories .

Joe Low Posted July 30, 2016 Share Agree, I really enjoyed doing this on a Saturday as one could take family and chill at Sun city for the day. Pity they have changed to a sunday, probably wont enter it this year for that reason. Maybe safety, which allows them to return to the original route. It was hellish dangerous before on a Saturday. Big bunches loads of traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
