travisza Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 What is the best plan for wives/girlfriends coming up for the weekend? We are doing the classique.....should they meet us at stops? Meet us only at finish?
Joe Low Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 What is the best plan for wives/girlfriends coming up for the weekend? We are doing the classique.....should they meet us at stops? Meet us only at finish? The bus could get a bit confining and it makes it a long day. Cars are quite closely controlled on the route but they can get from stop to stop. Best is probably for them to do their own thing imo.

News bot Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Event Name: Bestmed Jock TourWhen: 15 July 2016 - 17 July 2016Where: Nelspruit, MpumulangaCategory: RoadThe 2016 3-day, 3-stage Jock Tour Presented by Rudy Project, covers a distance of 304KM and a daunting 7200 metres of vertical ascent. The existing one-day Jock, which is an official premier seeding event for the Cape Town Cycle Tour, keeps its name as the Bestmed Jock Classique while its 3-day big brother is known as the Bestmed Jock Tour. The Bestmed Jock Tour Presented by Rudy Project, which takes place from 15-17 July, is not a challenge for the average rider. It constitutes the first event in South Africa which is mirrored on the Classic European Alpine road race stage races, such as the Haute Route. There is no tougher 3-day challenge on a road bike anywhere else on the African continent. Stage 1: Friday 15 JulyStart: 13h00 Individual Time Trial; Nelspruit to Kaapsehoop;Distance: 26.93km; Total ascent: 1200mThe first stage is a 26.93km hill climb time trial from Nelspruit to Kaapsehoop. Although only 26.93km in length, the course rises by 1200 metres between Nelspruit and Kaapmuiden. Stage 2: Saturday 16 JulyStart: 07h30 Nelspruit to White River via the Kruger Airport Road/Sabie and back to Nelspruit;Distance: 140km; Total ascent: 2900mThe second stage is the existing 140km Jock Classique route, which Jock Tour riders will have to complete in one go, without the luxury of the breakfast and lunch stops which the Classique riders have at White River and Sabie respectively.This stage takes riders from Nelspruit out on the N4 towards Sabie, before turning right onto the Brondal road onto White River. From White River riders take on the road to Sabie and then back onto Nelspruit. This stage offers 2900 metres of climbing. The notable climbs on this stage are Heidel Eggs, Spitskop and the Long Tom Pass. Stage 3: Sunday 17 JulyStart: 06h30 Nelspruit to Kaapmuiden via Boulders/Barberton and back to NelspruitDistance: 138km; Total ascent: 3100mStage 3 takes place over 136km on the traditional Jock Classique route, starting in Nelspruit, going out on the N4 towards Komatipoort before turning right into the Boulders reserve for the back-breaking Boulders ascent and onto Kaapmuiden. From Kaapmuiden the Tour takes on the undulating road to Barberton and then onto Nelspruit, with Hilltop constituting the final climb of the Tour before riders drop down into Nelspruit to finish back at the Mbombela Stadium.The total rise on the final stage is 3100 metres.Go to Event Page
