That looks a bit more like a 47km than a 40km, am i right?

I was in Stellies 2 weekends ago and I had to cancel 2 rides (one the Satday @Jonkers and one the Sunday @Welvans) due to the wind.
I have not canceled one ride this side due to the wind - people has a misperception about the wind this side - serious stuff!  :thumbdown:

Thanks Helloise!

Nogals 'n helse klim in die middel, maar gelukkig is die orige tot die einde basies afdraande!  :thumbup:

Hoe moeilik is daai 70km? Die beskruiwing op PPA site claim dit klim 1200m. Klink dit reg?

Het die race laas jaar gedoen(75km, 2de) in stromende reen(halfpad op gehou) baie lekker roete veral as jy deur die graan lande ry agter die stickers an...jy klim koringberg 2keer van verskillende kante af. die race vergelyk goed met die 60km van burger...nie baie tegnies nie maar hy sal jou vreet as jy te veel energie voor die 2de keer koringberg gemors het, nadat jy berg af deur koringberg dorp ry kan jy maar laat lees, dan is dit rolling hills huistoe...die laaste 500m lyn toe is etter, voel amper of jy kloofnek uit moet trap!!! enjoy, well org. race! :thumbup:

Apparently the 70km has about 1200m ascent, according to the advertising.  Which over that distance isn't that bad at all.  Die Burger 42km has 1000m ascent.

Does anyone have a route profile or gpx file?
