Bikes Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) That was an epic 70km! Had a tumble. I can't remember it.As I was cycling I wondered why my face and jaw was hurting,my knee's skin scraped off...and...why is my right forearm hurting intolerably with every small bump? That was weird? I went out there with one goal,given my fitness level...and that was to finish it. Finish it I did. To the organisers, marshals,volunteers and fellow riders...thank you for this adventure.

LeoKnight Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Not sure who has signed up for the 2017 one, has any one seen an indication of the route profiles / maps for the 30 / 45 / 70km?

Not sure what the intention is!
babse Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 i see early bird entries have closed already... also wondered what the 2 categories for the 70kms, however i reckon routes will be same as previous years!? long route does Groenlandberg and the short doesnt!

milky4130 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 what are you guys smoking i just went to PPA site & was able to do an early bird entry. As far as i can see route is exactly the same as last year.

milky4130 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 I'm only doing this event because of the Groenlandberg Ascend & Descend. Oh and this video    Skubarra and babse 2
Mamil Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Entered the 70km ride ---Â Â My dance card is now full most weekends - Robertson this weekend (may bail due to parenting commitments) - Yzerfontein the week after, Napier the week after that, then Grabouw trailseeker, then cyclosportif 2, then family holiday for the knysna MTB and road (the girls doing the half marathon the weekend after) ... life is good.

Skubarra Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 R275 ok that is what I paid as well. Think the early bird price was R250 so not a big loss
