20th May 

 

Flat and fast and normally a tad chilly start 

 

Who will be playing on this last race before winter ? 

Taking place on the Springbokvlakte, this is probably one of the flattest rides in the country. We have a farm in this area and I can tell you there is no such thing as a "koppie" for 50km in any direction.

 

This shows in the elevation totals:

Sondela route: 206m elevation

vs

Emperors(which is suppose to be very flat): 550m elevation according to my Garmin.

 

I haven't raced this one yet, but might just do it this year as I am built for the flat stuff.

Always a lekker weekend away

 

Last year we did the Road and MTB race.

 

Will be doing the same again this year.

 

Road is very flat and fast

That sounds awesome

Some mates and I are doing the road version.

 

2016 memories - chilly morning, loads of moer koffee, fast, flat, rough tar, long never-ending roads and absolutely nothing of scenic value whatsoever.

 

Why did I enter again?

True. Organising team were very friendly and nice setup. The Oom providing live entertainment by belting out some of his favourite tunes was a bit odd, in a nice way though.???? let's hope he is back as i may just put in a request ????

This is the one race where us Whales can give it a klap - chilly, flat and crosswinds. All that is missing is some cobbles.

Is the start time 6h50 for everyone?

No.. that's the start time for your age group
