Rouxenator Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 DC? Last time I checked a bicycle had one handlebar, one one for each member of a team.
Pure Savage Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Didn't know this was tomorrow!! Also, a nice early start and only 90km, so can get back to the fam dam in a decent time. Yoh, when work is *** its amazing how the thought of a little suffering on the pedals helps. andydude and Hamstring 2

Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Who can tell me, the piece at Meerendal, is it climbing up or do the guys coming down on that single track, and at what km mark will that be?
Skubarra Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Who can tell me, the piece at Meerendal, is it climbing up or do the guys coming down on that single track, and at what km mark will that be? Popeye, don't know the route exactly but as I understand they will be climbing up on Dorstberg, go down the quarry side and then later on they will be coming back up from Hoogekraal on the front of Meerendal close to the Vissershok road (like they did for the Epic 2(?) years ago)
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) so they just go straight up the jeep track @ Meerendal pass that little canon at the top? So, where will be a good spot to take photo's, I can get up to the top of dorsberg, but that is just a steep gravel road to the top? and everyone is standing there with tafelberg as a background. So, they will not do the sweeping down single track? Edited October 28, 2016 by popeye

My guess would be the best places to catch riders coming down on singletrack will be at Contermanskloof blue route or Hoogekraal (but then you will only catch the long distance riders)
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) I try to understand the route map, but looks like there is more water points then km's in that long route, but then again, they don't make today's cyclist the same as in the old days :-) I see they got a RP4 (I guess its a rest point?) at km 27, 5 at meerendal and then there is on the way back at km 56km another RP7 at meerendal. Looks like the 56km is the coming down, just not sure the route I'n ny time, meerendal was not open to cyclist, so I'm not very familiar with the farm Edited October 28, 2016 by popeye
Wannabe Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 I would imagine they would climb Dorstberg using the jeeptrack, and then the singletrack coming back down. Going down the jeeptrack might just be a bridge too far for many, so late in the race.
