CatchMeIfYouCan Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Probably (correct me if I'm wrong) the fastest race on the Gauteng calendar. Still in two minds as to whether I want to do this one.. seeding is taking a beating, 947 seeding was a lot weaker than anticipated (damn you Daryl!) Emperors Classic even faster.
The Ouzo Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Emperors Classic even faster. Original Fast One (before it moved to Midvaal) was faster, but with the new venue and route I agree, Emperors is faster. CatchMeIfYouCan 1
NotSoBigBen Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Just be very careful of the speed 'ripples' on the R82 at the intersection where you turn left towards Lapeng/Daleside! Opc_danny 1
Long Wheel Base Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 When is it this year? I'm not doing it but just keen to know.

HairyLegs Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Just be very careful of the speed 'ripples' on the R82 at the intersection where you turn left towards Lapeng/Daleside!There are now also ripples at the intersection of the R557 and R551. This is the intersection before you go around the back of Suikerbosrand. There are ripples on both sides of the intersection. NotSoBigBen 1
Jase619 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Missing out this year, damn, hope it's a lekker day out for everyone who is though! Long Wheel Base 1
Frosty Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Just be very careful of the speed 'ripples' on the R82 at the intersection where you turn left towards Lapeng/Daleside!You’re thinking of the Race for Victory route. As mentioned above there are flattish rumble strips on the drag up to SBR, but will be more of an impact on the Ride for Sight.
Opc_danny Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 These were horrible but well marked as well as the support people did warn us so no issues. There are now also ripples at the intersection of the R557 and R551. This is the intersection before you go around the back of Suikerbosrand. There are ripples on both sides of the intersection.

DanMan Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 Where was the crash you heard? Was it the one coming up to the finish?This was around 30 Km in. There was a bit of a cross wind and the heat was on. Must have been a touch of wheels.
