Compared to other races, RVR was by far the flattest in profile. vulgar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No big climbs but one or 2 nasty drags and at the end the rollers do add up. cadenceblur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both were low in elevation gain. The 50 miler was around 700m gain and the 100 miler i think around 1200. Both are very low in comparison to other gravel events. vulgar and cadenceblur 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bub Marley Posted April 25 Share The website is down at the moment so i assume they busy updating. Lots of organisers dont post the route file till a few days before the event as a lot of the roads go through private farms and they obviously don’t want people riding them until the event. cadenceblur and Skubarra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kom Posted April 25 Share I really enjoyed this last year, albeit only did the 50miler. Its great having a gravel race this close to CPT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadenceblur Posted May 24 Share I have not entered yet - not to sure about how I feel about about a muddy affair to be honest. Kom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like rain on Thursday and Friday as you said, Saturday looks like no rain but cold. I’ve never done the event before but if its gravel roads I don’t think it should be a problem if its a wet surface. Naturally it won’t roll as easy but that’s ok, nothing will be as bad as 36One from last year. Dealing with that peanut-butter 💩 for that many kms was pure evil.
