kosmonooit Posted February 17, 2011 Share Don't have the profile on file but remember it well. Its rolling bush veld for the most part, gentle climbs, one big climb (Walk) towards the end then one awesome downhill back home! Thats it its the same route as last year, they seem to change it around from year to year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted February 23, 2011 Share All is reasonably rolling until you hit the Castrol Stop (Used in all the Castrol Ads) Then from what I remember is two huge climbs (pretty much unridable with traffic / generally) then a hell decent littered with kopie rocks so not really rewarding unless you have a huge travel dual suss. It is a tester on the legs - dont let the first 35km fool you into thinking its gonna be like that all the way ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi-h Posted February 23, 2011 Share there's been quite a few threads about this race before, so do a search and you'll find millions of opinions. Some love it, some hate it. Bottom line, its tough and technical in some sections, but also has lots of stock standard dirt road. I'm one of the guys who loves it, even if its only for those rocky descents!!!

Regard Posted April 5, 2011 Share Does any one Know what the Winning time/Speed for the 35km ride is?Not sure but it is easy as pie. Should be in the 1.30odd bracket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squier Posted April 6, 2011 Share Winning time on the 35km was 1:15 with the last rider coming in exactly 3 hours later. 3:19 winning time for the 80km with the last rider in at a tad over 7 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassasdaindia Posted April 6, 2011 Share will it be the same route as last year ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squier Posted April 6, 2011 Share will it be the same route as last year ? Don't know, but should be similar. Last year we rode the 2009 route in reverse, with a couple of changes here and there. Profile wise it should be roughly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my 1st Lion man- so thought id take the 35k, to my regret now if im not mistaken I think you might be able to change your entry to a longer one at registration and pay in the difference? I defently remember there being posters/pages up telling one they can change their 80 to a 35 but cant remember if one can do it the other way around?
