Shanster-SA Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Hey fellow hubbers Just checked out the route profile for Sunday race. For a beginner is this a easy or hard route 65km it looks like a lot of climbingJust concerned for my lady friends that just started of riding.
Cyclewizz Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Profiles can make things look a lot worse than they actually are.
Bbox Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 If I'm not mistaken the route is pretty similar to ride for sight?
Trubie Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 For beginners its a good race. Not too many climbs at all. Have a look at the actual difference in the bottom and top of those spikes........ not much at all. Def a fast, flattish race.

Shanster-SA Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Minor climbs they should be able to do it in about 3hrs ? i heard that the ride for sight quite flat.
scotty Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I've ridden it a few times, should be no problem for newbies.

For me Ride 4 Sight isn't flat but then I really suck at climbing.There's a few small humps around the Heidelberg area which hurt me.
Cyclewizz Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Just a reminder that this race is timed by CHAMPIONCHIP (round green one) !!!!!

Coiser Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 The 65 route is fast. Did a 39.9 ave in 2009 Climbs are not that bad. Looking forward to Sunday.

Klappertjie Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I'm looking forward to this one myself. Did the 62km Dischem ride last week, giving the longer ride a bash this weekend . Hoping the legs can hold out...

Klappertjie Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Indigo, how does the 103km compare to the 94.7?
