HDW Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 that part of the course is super sketchelsies, an paved option would be nice, like a hen run type thing Hahaha, eeeeeina... milt steek.
Tatt Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 The whole bit.... At the bottom it is easier just to keep going straight down than taking that right turn. Tom
Tatt Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 The prologue route from Rhodes Gate. https://www.strava.com/routes/12160206 Tom
Headshot Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 On the video it looks quite harmless, what is it actually like?A couple of loose rocks and the odd big one?Its quite steep, especially the ramp where everybody is trying to impress the crowd. The strava segment is known as "THE Singletrack". Check the gradient.
mrcg Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Once more....if anybody needs a ready, willing and able partner for this year's tour, just give me a shout. I can be there at drop of hat. Of course we'll have to pair our riding but that's no worries.Just pm me and we can chat details......If there is a team entry, we can chat too....Cool

LeoKnight Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Saw that Jennie is out of the CapeEpic, wonder how many more is going to drop out due to injuries in the next week

Nice one. Doubt anybody will ride like that at the Epic although some possibly could. Risk of injury too high. But will be there to watch and cheer and maybe give some tips for the backmarkers.....
Andrew_Smith Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Good luck to all the riders competing in the 2018 Cape Epic. Enjoy every moment of it and be safe out there.

duringd Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 It is time..... Enjoy all Epic 2018 riders, keep the rubber on the surface (or rocks)!
Acerunner Posted March 17, 2018 Author Posted March 17, 2018 Cood luck guys! Loose and rockey out there, be safe
enduroist Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 The plum pudding downhill looks different at the bottom than from the time the video was shot. There is an uphill segment called <oops!> 1 one on Strava, watch out for that I thinks it's the hardest climb but it's short, I think if you get that one right you'll make a lot of time.
