SeanMort Posted September 19, 2016 Share Stupid question.. How do one get back to the start, will there be shuttle or do one cycle back? It's an out-and-back route with a U-turn and race back to the start/finish. Only CAT1 & CAT2 will carry on past the start/finish to commence the climb and then return to the finish.

Icycling Posted September 19, 2016 Share Nice new ideas of route etc. Well done to all concerned for putting in the time (believe its all voluntary time) to get these races going for the road riders of the Western Cape. I hope to be fit enough to join in the racing fun from November can't wait!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanMort Posted September 19, 2016 Share Looking at the race profile it must be in the region of 74Km or so (back to the start/finish), with the balance of the distance being the climb. So you say the cat 3's are also only doing 53km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
