Reversed Route 94.7 2018

[Vetplant]

Ok good, so no mad race down Riversands BLVD and a pile up in the first corner..

In theory, yes....

 

In practice... Alphabet soup riders don't honour neutral zones, at least not the two times I rode Emperors Classic.

 

Charity Groups and the double letter groups might be less inclined to go hard on that downhill.

Yip

Its a mad sprint down that hill into that left turn at Emperors

Another event I am woefully undertrained for. Shingles, hectic work schedule and life in general making training impossible.

 

Goint to europe next week, and when I return, only two weeks to make my bum used to the saddle, because that's all I will achieve..

Does anybody know if you substitute enter if they will start u at the back or still seed you?

I did a sub on behalf of my brother last year.

They do seed you but if the earlier groups are full they cant/wont do much

It's my first ever race and I've got a 9am start. Not looking forward to it. Hopefully it's cloudy.

We parked at Monte last year. Paid R10

 

Will do it again

do you have the Gpx data? seems like a viable option.

One thing that struck me yesterday is that, with the reversed route, there'll be practically no spectators from the Zoo all the way to the finish... Going to make for a very different atmosphere, especially for the late-starters/second-lappers.

Last year there were plenty spectators both near the Nelson Mandela bridge and Woodmead drive, started with the charities if that makes a difference. But yeah the highway could get a bit lonely

Crowthorne to the finish will probably also be quiet.

I road with a friend who was riding for the first time 2 years ago. We started in MM. It's not ideal, but it's not bad. Do your best, and have fun!

I'm 9:11 (this is not going to end well...)

I dont but it will look like this, so make sure you have a couple of beers to make sure you make it back up the hill

 

11.5km with 138m of climbing

2 years ago it was 28 degrees that time.
