Emperors Palace Classic

the MTB race sucks

the Road race sucks

 

Who cares - just enter the race and ride because it's what we funny people in lycra do - besides i've always wanted to see what it's like to cycle on the N12 and pass behind a boeing 747 busy revving up to take off - Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck can you just imagine the ride

probably a lot safer than out normal training route through oos rant

Agreed , training on the oos rand is a life threatening experience every weekend

If its MTB you referring to, last years MTB race was organised by Sweat & Gears Benoni, try them they may be able to help you for road and MTB entry.

[daggavis]

Looks like they have changed the route again. Instead of out&back on N12 Witbank highway, its now on N17 then right on heidelberg road..

 

[Nettie R]

Where did you get this map from daggavis?

The entry form we received at the fast one yesterday clearly shows N12 out and back.

[scotty]

That route looks like last years race

[daggavis]

@ Fester: Got it from Cyclabs online entry page..instead on taking N17 to Carnival City, you continue over N17 higway and then later hook a left on the R554. Think the roadworks on the N12 will create too much problems. Traffic is going to be a nightmare on the way back..

Yeah, besides the traffic around East Rand Mall, there is a massive pothole further down Rondebult Rd that reduces traffic to a single lane.. it's been like it for months.

[daggavis]

think i must rather do the kormorant race on the saturday...reckon its better training for argus..

[scotty]

Route will still be very fast, the only diffs is we do not turn left off rondebult onto the N17 but continue till R554 then left to carnival city.
