milky4130 Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 did Cederberg 100 miler last year so familiar with that section.
dannygirl Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Anybody have any useful info on the 65km? Seems that the website has the same description for the 45km and 65km...so not really helpful.
Bolla Posted August 28, 2017 Author Posted August 28, 2017 The 65km will follow on the 45km route and then turn away into the mountains. It is more jeep track and roads trough the citrus orchards. there will be a lot of short steep climbs .There will be 2 water points on the 65km route and 1 0n the 45km route.The weather looks fine for Saturday.Might get hot for the back markers on the 115kmHope this helps Desi 1

milky4130 Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 The main climb is that tackled in reverse or is it in the same direction every year?
Bolla Posted August 28, 2017 Author Posted August 28, 2017 It is the down ride. So the main climb will be later in the race and yes you will attack it from Algeria side.
milky4130 Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 It is the down ride. So the main climb will be later in the race and yes you will attack it from Algeria side.thanks do you perhaps have a link to a strava activity of the down ride then?
Breezer Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 thanks do you perhaps have a link to a strava activity of the down ride then? Malcolm, I will pm you a link to my strava later today.
Brenna Coupland Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 Looks like the 2015 route - is this the "down" route? The one we can expect this year? https://www.strava.com/activities/386710692
milky4130 Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 does anyone know if the entire route is possible on a Cycloscross Bike?
Breezer Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 does anyone know if the entire route is possible on a Cycloscross Bike?Yes, if you can handle sinkplaat. There is about 400m singletrack at the end, but that is the most technical of the route. milky4130 1
