Does anybody know if we can download the routes on our Garmin's for navigation and profiles ?

No they don't publish the files as far as I know

haha, I know, I have ridden Lourensford a few times, so at least I am prepared for that.

Just going to wing the rest.

 

No time to psyche yourself out. It starts immediately after you cross the start line lol

So far the weather looks GREAT for next weekend.

 

Luckily this is Cape Town so it will probably still change at least 4 times before then.

Rookie question. Do we drop bags at registration or Friday before ride. What’s a good time to be there Friday ?

My Wines 2 Whales experience ........elevation is way less that advertised on website (maybe changed this year)

 

Last 3 years Day 3 was less than 900m climbing......or maybe my Garmin is damaged ;-)

everyones device always records differently, there are some setting that can be done on the device itself then you could also, if using Strava do an Elevation Correction but the latter doesn’t help you during the race.
