Furbz Posted October 7, 2021 Share Got to ride the MTB route in Steyn City yesterday. I am so glad i did not enter the MTB race! i'd be really upset paying close on R500 only to find 40-60% of the route is on concrete golf cart tracks - really not joking about this seriously for the first 25km you might as well have slicks and a close range cassette. the last 25km is mostly offroad. even that was not great. i'd say there was only 1 section of around 1.5km that was fun. the rest felt like it was just zigzagging on boring paths that are not maintained to make up the distance.

Was wondering about this. Thanks for the feedback. Feel better now about not entering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I arrive on the Friday from Ireland and will hopefully have 4 weeks of cycling in the legs after a 3.5 month hiatus. Going to also just take it slow and hope not to overheat. Super pleased that the finish isn’t in steyn city again. Counting the days of riding between now and then, but have a stag weekend in Dublin this weekend, so losing a couple of days already. Also now entered the Tour Durban the following Sunday, which should be a bit easier at lower altitude and with less hills. Bonus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WR 1.0 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Any idea where the number collection will be? I'm out of town that whole week prior and only get back late on the Friday before the race. Saturday morning is going to be a rush to get everything sorted. Also, suggestions for parking? I suspect the N1 ( west) offramp to the stadium is going to be a nightmare. Option is to park in Melville/ Aucklandpark and ride in (supposedly just 7/8km) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Friday it is still open till 20h00. https://ridejoburg.co.za/expo/ Also want to see how they do the Covid dance around that.
