Reversed Route 94.7 2018

[FondTF2]

What will be interesting is whether the loop around Kyalami track has also been reversed?

 

Could be a sting in the tale going up Mineshaft as apposed to down it

if it's not reversed there will be chaos entering and leaving the track

[Kranswurm]

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.

It will be like the Ou Kaapse route on the Argus which sent one back along the highway back into town.Boring,drol and lousy to be honest

I have said so before and maintain..it is a cr*p decision

[Tabula Rasa]

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

Hopefully I can close the gap on the climbs!

[Tabula Rasa]

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

Looks simple but Coming back will definitely hurt.

947 has been, and always will be, my “fun ride” for the year. Some years racing is fun, other times it’s a double lap or just riding with the masses. I prefer not to think of the high entry fee, or the monotonous sections of the route, and think of how to enjoy it.

 

Being a new route (albeit reversed), they’ve made it easy for me to decide what to do... ride it. Next year I’ll want to beat this year’s time.

Are there any clubs in the Bedfordview area that are planning a light leg spinner ride on the Saturday before the race, and would not mind if I joined?

 

I am traveling from Durban on the Friday.
