Grant Prince Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 I want to do this race next year but see a GPS is compulsory. Dont want to buy one for one race only dont think i will use it again. Any suggestion? Maybe a cell phone app?

Grant Prince Posted October 26, 2021 Author Posted October 26, 2021 Apparently they post the route to download on GPS. Dont want to get lost????
JulienR Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 I have done this event twice. The route is well marked and there are plenty of cyclists so gps is not necessary. They also do not check... mecheng89, eala and bertusmouton 3
Grant Prince Posted October 26, 2021 Author Posted October 26, 2021 Thank you Julien. Appreciate the info. No problem then. ????
_David_ Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Entered this morning as well. Looking forward to it, looks like a fun day out. mecheng89 1
_David_ Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Accommodation booked this morning, just under 3 months to go. Guess I better start doing some longer rides over the weekends. mecheng89 1
Grant Prince Posted February 9, 2022 Author Posted February 9, 2022 Yip now is good time to start training for the race. I am on the 60KM weekend route now but want to move up to 80 soon. Looking forward to race day. _David_ 1
Rockjock Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 I rode without gps...was absolutely fine.. _David_ 1
mecheng89 Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Just follow those ahead of you. Follow the leader, leader, leader. DIPSLICK and _David_ 2
Jay F Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Very excited for this race, my first R2TSun. Have a couple of mates doing it and will be starting as a group, but some of them are too strong for the others. Looking forward to it. mecheng89 and _David_ 2
Zama7 Posted April 7, 2022 Posted April 7, 2022 Hey guys, generally how difficult is the race or is it just far ?
Ispeed_V Posted April 7, 2022 Posted April 7, 2022 Technical - NO Corrugations - Yes (probably a lot worse with all the rain of late)
_David_ Posted April 7, 2022 Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) 1000m elevation over 160km doesn't seem too bad, makes me happy since I have done zero training. Edited April 7, 2022 by _David_
