Thermophage Posted May 12, 2022 Share Probably ion the region of 35km and 1300m ascent. It's almost always similar to a Jonkers event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The online entries should be up and running within the next week. I'll post a link here when it's open. Last year we only had 26km and 1100m climbing, but somehow that last climb was still a struggle. This year will be similar. herrowpreeze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bos Posted May 12, 2022 Share Cool. The nice bit about it only being 26 km is one can walk the last climb, like most of us did. It got pretty hot in that little kloof. But It really wasn't all bad. I was training for the W2W at that stage but somehow didn't have the strength or will power to pedal that last steep part. All in good spirit though! I think 2 years ago, the #NOTARACE version was spread out more, so had more exposure. and you definitely would have felt pretty lonely if you walked those climbs.. the traverse to "Dream on" and 2x tower+some for the last stage took some commitment. But that's the nature of Enduro. Jonkershoek is same story. At least there's an event to look forward to as it doesn't look like the EWC races are happening this year.

Jewbacca Posted May 12, 2022 Share Would I sound daft saying that I found the climbing really easy and enjoyable? It's not too steep or too long or too far away from where you need to be. I'm going to try to make this one DirtyDan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilipV Posted May 12, 2022 Share Dammit, I'm on a river trip that weekend. Verkeerde keuses! I was looking forward to an enduro where I wasn't marshaling. Good luck for the event! Christofison 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
