The Ouzo Posted November 8, 2023 Share 3 minutes ago, Frosty said: In all seriousness, last year's route with this year's added distance. S = the point where timing started F = new finish Only 1.2Km longer. With the extra roll out under the Soweto Highway, it might be closer to 97Km, maybe a dyslexic race distance of 97.4Km. I've measure just over 96km without the new addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter-morgan Posted November 9, 2023 Share If I use the course that I got from someone last year, I get 9 Climbs but if I make a course of last year's ride I get 15 Climbs - ODD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My course file shows 7. I would imagine the missing ones are too short to be considered: before Kyalami (900m @ 4.6%) the mineshaft in Kyalami (500m @ 5.9%) Drags of Douglasdale (2Km @ 2%) Braamfontein (1.2Km @ 2.5%) There are a few other short bumps on the M1 (after Jan Smuts and Grayston offramps). I don't have those showing on Strava, so not sure about their details). TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
