THE BODY CENTRE Posted March 10, 2009 Share Just a very quick pick from today racing: Men & Ladies elite raceLadies did 3 laps x 39km, the Men - 5laps of 39km. Race started 12h00 in Oudtshoorn .. nuf said. Route mostly flat with one slight uphill drag and one short but painfully sharp climb. See pics later - i promise the camera was horisontally level break on lap 1. One rider stayed in the break till the end. See later James Perry Burry on the sharp climb. Still lap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE BODY CENTRE Posted March 10, 2009 Share If you look up the road, to the right behind the black /dark car - there is a turquoois object -- that is where Jay Thompson & David George crashed - on the last turn down to the sprint finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE BODY CENTRE Posted March 10, 2009 Share Ok, this should give you some idea of the 2 hills (thanks in advance RaymondC for the PS yr itching to do .. ) This was from the Jnr Race tho the rest of the route is FLAT, and it gets windy as the day goes on, AND there is no shelter (and no trees, and nothing else that gives shade!)
