Cyclewizz Posted July 20, 2016 Share Some awesome news : THE STING IN THE TAIL:Then cycle down Cedar Road, up to the King of the Mountains into the picturesque Steyn City Estate where the views are matched with some tough hills (and where the speed bumps will be levelled out)! From here you continue onwards to the Finish at Riversands Commercial Park. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 20, 2016 Share Ooh! having to slow down to turn into Kyalami - that's going to be fun. No more Froome-style top tube pedalling - save it for the mine shaft on the race track.

Javas X Posted July 20, 2016 Share Very happy that the Ghandi square loop has been removed.I am happy too, even that Joe Slovo downhill section was dangerous with pedestrians crossing at will. BouncingBrain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted July 20, 2016 Share 15 years ago was the last time the full lap was used (at the finish) and they had a few finishes for a few more years thereafter that went through a make shift entrance. I'm looking forward to the lap again. trekpostal, Bat and Javas X 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieL Posted July 20, 2016 Share Quite a few PB's on the cards then I reckon.No more Wilds climb, Joe slovo, Ghandi square or M1 back to Carr street... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 20, 2016 Share The roadworks on the M2 between Joe Slovo and St Andrews will mean more fun riders are closer to each other going up passed Hollard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJDT Posted July 20, 2016 Share Going to be tough in the circuit and then out with that small climb and then with the drag to the intersection where the old turn-off to the finish were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
