Skubarra Posted November 22, 2018 Share Cut out most of the N7! That's what made this race unique tbh I prefer the challenge of V Schoors terrible surface and quick little climbs over the easy smooth riding of the N7. Always the spot that shatter the group and shake off the wheel suckers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabe Posted November 22, 2018 Share I again hate the V Schoors section, rattles my teeth loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubarra Posted November 22, 2018 Share Thought that's what this bit is for! True but I don't mind getting drop there as much as it is basically right at the finish and the law of Physics determines that I can't compete with 60kg midgets on such a steep climb anyway. Getting dropped on V Schoors far worse to my ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billygoat0523 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Cut out most of the N7! That's what made this race uniquetoo many riders crossed the middle line on the N7 this year, so the rumour that the route will change again turned out true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchanan Posted November 22, 2018 Share Pity they are cutting out most of the N7... that Van Schoors Road is as rough as hell! Like a corrugated roof in sections. I recall reading reports after this year's race that too many riders were riding far out into the car lane on the N7 - and that the traffic authorities would never allow a cycle race there again for that reason. Does the 2019 race finish near the top of Odendaal Rd...or lower down? I wonder... It doesn't look like much of a rise at the very end according to that profile above. Whereas with past route profiles the Odendaal rise at the end was very distinct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchanan Posted November 22, 2018 Share Further to my post above, I see the 2019 race will indeed finish much lower down Odendaal Rd - before Pienaar St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
