Elvin Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 anyone here doing this one? Hows the climbs? I'm used to training the whale coast route from Gordons bay up Clarence to Rooi Els.
Lucky Luke. Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Worst climb comes 7k's in - Ou Kaaps eastern side. Apparently it is like your pump station climb in Gordons Bay, whatever that is. Then it's over Black Hll, up Smits (part of the Argus), Slangkop and back over Ou Kaaps. http://www.mapmyride.com/ride/south-africa/cape-town/452534084

I-FELT-the-FORCE Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Doing it. Gonna be fun climbing those hills again
Oltremo Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I will be there, looking foreward to lovely weather and a great ride.
MTB_Roadie Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Cool, if thats the worst then i dont have much to worry about Remember you coming back over ou Kaapseweg also...its going to be a leg worker but fun, similar to the Cobra but I think it might be a little faster as it looks like more descents
fandacious Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Remember you coming back over ou Kaapseweg also...its going to be a leg worker but fun, similar to the Cobra but I think it might be a little faster as it looks like more descents More descents = more climbs anyways - you climb like a helium balloon so i'm sure you're not worried

Check the mapmyride link for an accurate figure. Less climbing than the Cobra anyways.
Spat Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Never did this one before, looking forward to it.
andretraut Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Glad this one is not a Pro Classic event, so I can give it a miss!
Spat Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Ho does black hill from that side compare to when you come from the other side like we did in Cobra, if that makes sense?
MTB_Roadie Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 that side is way easier! Actually both sides isnt that bad
Elvin Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I'm entered. Hows the wind there this time of the year? Lately the wind is real bad in Gordons Bay
