HBO Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 More or less the same roads as carnival, R4S, Fast One and Emperors. Couldn't they got a slightly different route?
Frosty Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Does the website indicate anywhere on the direction of the route? Clockwise or anti-clockwise?
hilton_ Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Does the website indicate anywhere on the direction of the route? Clockwise or anti-clockwise?Was wondering the same thing…
HairyLegs Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 I see on their website that the route has changed. Going out to Bapsfontein now. Long Wheel Base 1
Underachiever Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 Eish, the road through Benoni towards Baps is not in the greatest state, narrow, and very busy. The R23 back from the Serengeti side also BUSY! Not sure how this will play out?

HairyLegs Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Yeah agreed. And when you say busy, majority of the traffic is taxi's. No need to worry about this race seeing that there is no tandem category! Long Wheel Base 1
Frosty Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Another L’Etape?Who knows? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Long Wheel Base Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 No need to worry about this race seeing that there is no tandem category!haha yeah. Imagine they just scrapped tandem racing all together.
CharlesZ Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Was wondering the same thing…I do see they indicate water points by numbers if you click on it. So must be anti clockwise Worried about the section at Hassie Park in Benoni but on fb they said today that all will be sorted. See also that we are riding on the R21 highway from the Silo's? Caterpillar building to the next offramp of R23. Sometimes the road at Clearwater estate is also filled with potholes but currently all filled up (until the next rains). Will also see how Lower Boksburg road will treat us Underachiever 1
Stan The Man 1961 Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 My experience on this route would be this,1. Pretoria Rd through Benoni is very busy, and as you come out towards Bapsfontien the road conditions are very bad for a car / Motorcycle, so I can imagine a cyclist it would be hell. High road from R21 all the way down to Impala park is a single lane road and is very busy even on a Sunday, and I would not be prepared to take any chance on that road. Atlas Road is full of Taxis and they go down that road at a rate of knots. I think I will be giving this one a miss, and to those that take part, good luck and hope your Med Aid and Life Insurance is up to date.
