TheAntoine1 Posted June 16, 2022 Share 18 hours ago, lechatnoir said: the only bump of note is about 10km before Piketberg and that's ~200m in 5km-ish, but it comes in the form of heavy rollers (in cricketing terms). If you can hold on, there's ample recovery from the top and heading through Piketberg. And there's an annoying lump heading out of Elands Before Piketberg - https://www.strava.com/segments/6422844 out of Elands - https://www.strava.com/segments/946033 That hill outside Elands can be a brute if the wind is blowing, which it often is. Ive cycled over there a few times. Sid the Sloth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleedToWin Posted June 17, 2022 Share Headwind (gentle) all the way if you're in the groupetto. Cold start, but otherwise predictions look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuddered to imagine doing an additional 90km at intensity. Hoping for periods of peaceful riding. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleedToWin Posted June 17, 2022 Share @WaldoZare the Savages coming? @Sid the Sloth are the Friends coming? Team dynamics is largest factor that determines how a race unfolds. Don't think we have any other teams on this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamil Posted June 19, 2022 Share I'm going to have to be careful not to try keep up with all the fast guys starting after me. I often try talk some sense into the people around me on the start line. "Let's all be reasonable" I say "we start slowly, steady efforts up the hills", "we're all in this together". No one listens.

Judging by the profile, I don't think it would be the worst decision ever to try sit in as faster groups catch, I definitely would not try work though. Otherwise it could be a super long day out.

Denis Dell Posted June 20, 2022 Share So what are everybody's target times to finish this event? Also, I seem to recall there will be a "sweeper" vehicle, I assume that if you fall behind that, you are kind of screwed? What is the expected time for that vehicle to finish at?
