No replacement climb sadly, so no real climb on the entire route. Still wrapping my head around how this race might unfold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if we test positive and have no symptoms then we don't have to isolate but can't race?! Sounds bizarre EddieV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 100m elevation for every 10km as 'n marker for a hilly route. This race will likely only wake up in the second half with rolling uphill and a headwind to animate things.

I rode the route on Saturday, sure there aren't big climbs but I do think the last 20km might be tougher than what people anticipate, especially if too many matches are burned on the first 80km. It's a long drag with some steep rollers. Add heat and a head/crosswind to the mix and a few might be dropped in the last 20km.

Rouxenator Posted February 8, 2022 Share New route, so I entered. Should be a nice long slog on my knobby 2.35 tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamil Posted February 8, 2022 Share I would far rather take my pain on a big bump like Vissers than the slow and long drag of that last 20km. MDJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
