'Kaze Pete Posted Friday at 08:41 AM Posted Friday at 08:41 AM Seemingly pancake flat. I might not be an 80kg anything (Definitely not a 80kg climber like Matt Beers!), so anybody with any info/experience on previous events? betaboy 1

I did 156 in 2023 - total elevation was 688m - mostly ok roads, but there was some sandy patches and proper corrugations as well, especially on the section to Dikhololo. (Just a ps, I see start is later, but with a 7:00 start the temperature dropped to -2.7 and a bit colder - that was slightly unexpected). First part reasonably flat, from 50 to 100 2 smallish bumps and and from 100 onwards just a steady drag to end. Maybe someone can give current condition of canal roads - was there in March after the rains and some sections were eroded. Did 92 km last year - only 400m elevation. Later start, nicer temperatures. Both were lekker days out with some cold beers afterwards at the small airport going down well. 'Kaze Pete 1
