Bruceste Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Hey everyone, Has anyone got information on this race? When ever I try and Google search it, each and every time I come to the page that says that the 2016 edition has been cancelled. I'd love to ride it for the 1st time, but have no info to read up on as of yet. Unless, I'm missing something?! Look forward to your response.. Bruce

SilverRider Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 So this is just around the corner. Who will we see there?
'Kaze Pete Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 If I ride there from home, will the cyclists racing cars to the start give me space on the Kopjeskraal road?
Be4dawn Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Im thinking of entering for the 38 KM Ride. Will be my 1st event

2bliss Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Only pity, IMHO, is that it is no longer a weekend event where one could do a longer and a shorter ride on separate days. There is probably a good reason for the change, but the old format is something I used to enjoy.
Be4dawn Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Just completed my entry . Will be on the lookout for Potchefstroomers on the day. Hopefully the climbs doesnt kill me.
SilverRider Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Just a heads up to everybody travelling to the event, the Rhino Rally is in Parys this weekend. Expect some traffic on the access roads to the mighty metropole http://www.bikesa.net/rallies/rhino-rally/
JeffD Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 I'm keen to enter but a bit nervous at the same time. I see they have a sweep vehicle at 12:00 per their website. If you start at 7:30, which I doubt I will as I'm assuming there will be batches, my maths says that is an average speed of +- 15.1km /hr. This is a tough route with 1 405m of climbing over 68km, not flat and fast, and in my mind it will be very tough to average that speed. I'm second guessing myself as to paying R350 (more than a Trailseeker) and travelling from Joburg just to possibly get a DNF. I'm no rookie but not a race snake either. Or am I just over analysing this.... Any thoughts?
Be4dawn Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 I see the cutt off is at 12pm at the 45 Km mark. So that would give you 4:30 hours to get there at about 10km an hour. Anyone gave an idea how many people entered for this?

Anyone gave an idea how many people entered for this? Thanks, I got an update from the organiser which agrees with what you say. I misread the website. The route is a bit longer as well. 73km vs 68km.
