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.

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?

 

Think you are a bit quick out of the blocks here (not even a thread for the race yet...), race still 3 months away  ^_^

 

 

The whole RACE & RIDE category thing is not really well explained on the webpage. Not sure what the intention is!

also wondered what the 2 categories for the 70kms, however i reckon routes will be same as previous years!?

Hoping that the entries are still open and just a mistake on their website.  

 

Also more wonderinge if the 70km is the 45km + Groenlandberg, or that you get to ride some nice routes on the 45 that is not on the 70km section

 Last year early entries closed in August, so will probably be the same again

they updated the closing date, which was indicated as 2017-05-28, but seems now have been corrected till August

What did you pay for your entry?

Entered the 70km ride --- 

 

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.
