947 Ride Joburg

[The Ouzo]

have some time on my hands, thought I'd do a GPX file. Not having luck.

Komoot wont route on highway

Strava wont route on highway

mapmyride was working until just before houghton drive and then decided it no longer wanted to route on the highway

Create a path on google earth.

I restarted mapmyride and so far it seems to be working.

 

Edit:

 

Got it mapped, made some assumptions in certain places

Select Manual mode and it will allow it - in Strava.

I'd do it, but it takes time.

I tried, it didnt like it, but like with mapmyride maybe something was not happy.

I looked at their route in more detail.

 

Difficult to see how they will get off the M2 East onto the M1 South - it has barriers separating East from West. Looks like the double-decker section could be dual carriageway.

 

Also, the short left, right, left after Kyalami (Main Road); not sure how they get the little cut-out section.

 

Here's how I interpret it in Garmin Connect; 96Km.

I think that left right left after Kyalami is going behind the shopping center.

Falling out with Mnr Steyn I wonder?

 

Most of the reason I want to ride this again is for the lap of Kyalami. I'm glad its still in there.

 

Kyalami used to be open in the evenings for cyclists/runners etc.

Old Kyalami? Ja I cycled there a few times way back. It was brilliant.

 

I suppose I haven't really been riding since new Kyalami was built so never looked into it if that still happens.

Thank you Frosty for doing the route.

It looks like there will be less elevation gain. In 2019 elevation gain was 1498m.

MTB and kids ride still at Steyn City. Maybe Nasrec is just better suited with regard to logistics and such .

Edit: Cyclists from the South are smiling.

Is it just me or is their entry system really not user friendly?

I didn't have any issues...

quite straight forward, click enter, click enter again, get directed to howler, login/sign up and pay and you done

[Prince]

Aha now it worked.

[The Ouzo]

Anyone seen this?

does this mean that unless you have submitted results they will only use previous 947 results?
