I would be surprised if you actually go up old Helshoogte. Maybe that was the initial intention until the organisers saw the state of the road before the Boland 100 Miler. Maybe looks great on the marketing blurbs but don't think that road is suitable for road racing anymore?

I went up old Helshoogte on the road bike a few weeks before "DC" nothing has changed, grow a set, jassis.

I’ve been riding the motorbike there for a few years now and I can tell you that even the right side of the back straight is now bumpy, we wrestle with our front wheel at 270 now and with a headwind it becomes even worse…

I am surprised to see little mention of this on le Hub...

I am looking forward to racing this week, and the elite field looks fairly decent. 

Does anyone have GPX files for the stages?

Backstraight is too short for that kind of speeds on a 1000cc ????

Speaking of backstraights, tomorrow's wind should be interesting... Either block head or right-to-left crosswinds for the last 70km...
