Looks like the weather gods will look kindly on us Sunday.
Now I just need to kick this headcold swiftly.

Hopefully it will be a civilised race. with coffee stops and a bit of wine tasting till the final climb

Looks like the water points will be well supplied.

We're doing age cat at this one, but I suspect for the pointy end of things there will be no stopping and 100km of arguing about working in the front... ????‍♂️

Sounds fun, looking forward to it. I am planning on not doing the time on the front as that cost a lot of energy on Saturday...

I think you kept my teammate on a tether when he went solo on the Fisantekraal road. Wish you would've rather joined him in a break.

I can tell you how I think it's going to go, then you know it's probably going to be the exact oposite. If I were you, looking at the profile, I'd hide the whole race and attack on du toitskloof. Depending on who attacks up the taal monument climb you may want to go with as a breakaway there might not be caught before du toitskloof. I don't believe anything is going to happen before taal monument, but experience proved i'm ALWAYS wrong when it comes to this ????

 

So wrong that I'm talking about climbs that aren't even on the route anymore. Is there anything more accurate than this shitty map ?

 

What is that 2ond last climb ?

The climb at 108km is Old Helshoogte.
