Assuming I got the route right, 87km. Here's the route on strava: https://www.strava.com/routes/23731309

There goes the beta. This sucks big time.

Given the Saving Private Ryan scenes we had last time the route went over there I doubt it...

 

So basically Durbie Dash take 2? I would have opted for the usual Adderley finish & neutral zone through D'Urbanvale if I was the organiser but lets see...

 

Whoever has the Strava KOM on Mosselbank road you can kiss it goodbye...

Would love to see what they do with the seedings after this event as it is after all a "Premier seeding event" after the SCT cancellation! Alot of people were relying on this race to give them a good/better seeding for the CTCT...

Unless it's windy, I'm sure it'll be similar to Paarl last weekend, beta will be under 1 and near possible to improve seeding if you're sitting mid A group. Now I'm kinda hoping for wind, and not to get dropped in crosswinds.

Yip, pass the familiar Adderley sprint finalè, then a technical twisty dip into the D Vale neighbourhood with 3 circles and a few speed bumps with a small kicker up towards Vissershok road, 1 km out to the white chalk

 

Gonna be a bit crazy

Be careful ⚠️

Yip, was thinking the same. 100 guys in A group trying to race through D'Urbanvale ????

So vissershoek climb is completely out of the race... Moersa fail for the 99er not to be going up there.

 

Well that's disappointing if correct ????‍♂️

Wife and myself entered the 57km but now that its 87 I wonder if we ca change to the full distance?

 

My wife will be happy with no vissershok lol

I'm sure you can at registration/number collection at a fee ofcourse. I assume you probably wont be the only one doing so aswell.

But this weekend we have 8 Savages riding from a lower seeding to try make it interesting [emoji16]

Please bring a tow rope and let us know the seeding before hand so we can either start and try hang on in the same bunch, or wait till you catch up just to wave you on by..

is the new route confirmed from the organizers? 

 

edit: below is what is on the 99er website

If that is correct, it is basically the same as the Tour De PPA route (which costs about R150 less to enter  )
