thehermanator Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Can anyone please tell me what to expect of this race - its my first time doing this as a race. Your advise will be much appreciated.
Shebeen Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Can anyone please tell me what to expect of this race - its my first time doing this as a race. I'll guess you're doing the 85km marathon. Expect it to only be about 74km
Li Mu Bai Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Tough start, nice steep climb, very enjoyable race, hope you have the legs for the end. hope it doesn't rain either...
thehermanator Posted May 11, 2009 Author Posted May 11, 2009 Thanks Rude, I've cycled quite a bit in Knysna before, but never raced. I am looking forward to this one.
Dirt*girl™ Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 I love this race....sooo much fun. I will be there this year!!
jagwil Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 I have done this one 3 or 4 times.It is a really good race. The hill just after the start is a bit tough but after that it is a great ride.
Sacrosanct Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 I heard that there was always a lot of open dirt roads in this race. That it is boring compared to what Knysna and surrounding areas have to offer. Apparently if it rains the amount of mud gets out of hand...
thehermanator Posted May 11, 2009 Author Posted May 11, 2009 What a shame about the open road - Single tracks in Knysna are absolutely great. But I thinks its still a great ride, rated one of the top 5 in SA.
Mellow Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 ...yeah, dont expect alot of single track on this one. fast and furious with some big names around so i hear
Bos Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 There are 2 tough climbs after about 5 km. DONT breakyourself here.. theres still plenty of riding left and I have to say the real funn starts at about 35km when you hit "petrus se brand" its a rad trail with a little section of sublime fast flowing singletrack at the end then after about 60km theres one more long climb before more singletrack then 2km of flat on tar and grass
thehermanator Posted May 11, 2009 Author Posted May 11, 2009 Thanks dude, sounds like you've done this a few times?
