AL also, but giving my entry to a friend.

 

Remember the group sizes at TD are bigger than many of the other races. You will find many smaller groups forming so make sure you at the front of the start and then find the one that works for you.

Thanks for the heads up Veebee.

 

See you there hilton_!

BL for me.

 

Just a subtle heads-up for the newbees doing this race.

 

The finish has produced some unfortunate crashes in the past.

 

With less than 1 km to go there is a double right hander to negotiate. (90 Degrees each).

 

Steel Fencing will be on your left, as well as moving traffic on the other side of the fencing.

 

Don't get pushed into it.

 

Some blokes in our group chucked their bidons here last year, and some girl copped for it. 

 

Chucking your bidon does add Artistic impression but has little value when competing for

 

position 1376. It also makes you look stoooopid. 

 

Be safe.

Was wondering where the turns are, thanks!

yea it's a bit dodgy those turns. Especially after you have been hammering it at high speed for the last part .

 

The 1st climb will split up the bunches???????? ...if I remember it's the one into pinetown I think ??

 

Looking forward to if the dreaded lurgi has gone by then . Fingers crossed.

Of the few races I have done (mostly the big events) this is my favorite one.
