mercurystorm Posted May 24, 2018 Share So what does everyone think of the new reversed route? The start is going to be tough with Steyn City and Cedar, but the finish will be FAST once you turn onto Summit routemap.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetplant Posted May 25, 2018 Share Looks legit. Going to be a serious slog up from Witkoppen all the way to Nelson Mandela Bridge. All bets are off regarding finish times and whether someone will make their sub 3 target, we will simply have to ride it and see. In theory it is a loop, so the total distance and total climbing should be the same. But the way the climbs are sequenced will make the difference. Actually looking forward to this fresh challenge.

Squier Posted May 25, 2018 Share Not quite sure what to make of this. That start on Summit used to be brutal for me just because it dragged for so long so I'm glad that's gone. That being said, I doubt Steyn City and Cedar will be much better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letum911 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Jan Smuts up!! that will suck Yup, but I reckon it might balance out Steyn City. Damn that place!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFC311 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Don't see the total elevation any ideas what it would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted May 25, 2018 Share Don't see the total elevation any ideas what it would beGoing out on a limb here but would be happy to be corrected: The total climbing meters should be the same if it is the same loop, just in reverse. What goes up must go down, which is true on a loop course, you end up at the same elevation you started. But there might be a couple of minor route adjustments to be able to run in reverse, but it should be fairly similar, probably less than 5% change if I had to venture a guess.
