Bbox Posted February 21, 2011 Share If I'm not mistaken the route is pretty similar to ride for sight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trubie Posted February 21, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klappertjie Posted February 21, 2011 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclewizz Posted February 21, 2011 Share 65km i also suck at climbing my weak spot Gee you gonna be a lot faster than that. I did a sub 3hr last year for the 103km. I think you should target a sub 2hr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klappertjie Posted February 21, 2011 Share Indigo, how does the 103km compare to the 94.7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclewizz Posted February 21, 2011 Share Indigo, how does the 103km compare to the 94.7? Much easier.According to my Polar, Carnival has 595m of climbing, I think the 94.7 has close to 1000m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
