Velouria Posted January 29, 2020 Share Umm 2020 route updated on the website: Lap distance: just over 12km. Elevation around 350m my spez with 3x9 looking more and more appealing. /me off to get e-bike"At 12,4km we are slightly longer than before but I think the mid descent climb and extra DH will give the lap better balance." I like the sound of the changes - it seems like a good course. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velouria Posted January 29, 2020 Share There extra climb now in the middle."JK’s Edge." not sure about details .... anyone have link to "old route" on strava? 2016: 2017: Karman de Lange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipV Posted January 29, 2020 Share I'm glad we're not doing the 2017 route. Vissie's is a legendary trail. Adding JK's Edge is kief, I was hoping that Sounds of Silence would be in as well, but then the lap would probably be too long at 15-16kms.

I like the sound of the changes - it seems like a good course. 12.4 to 12.5Km makes the keeping track of lap distance math easier. The climbing is going to be a leg breaker. Come lap 10 many are going to have wobbly legs, me included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karman de Lange Posted January 31, 2020 Share Load shedding seems to only be problem on Sunday 8:00 till 10:30 .. Saterday is 08:00-10:00... At least sun should be up by then, hopefully they have generators as I'll need some coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are going to have load shedding the whole weekend...…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
