Van Someren's win was hard earned..... he had a puncture a few Km's out and still went out hard to take the win.

You know me man - gotta be correct.
Ah dude, flat rear wheels are the flavour of the year.... hopefully it will pass to someone else next year

The final 10 kms or so is continuous ascent...
That is where the race truly begins.

profile looks quite tough
Only problem is I don't know what to train for...
Think I'll just use next year as a base year for longer stuff, then hammer it in 2013 for the shorter races for league and nationals,
so, looks like I have some 5hr days coming up

Some of the gradients in the final segments...
Whooaaah!
Consider visiting Vissershok - bring some buds along for a recce.

High rollers for the final 30 with steep gradients over the final 10.

Could work - or you could just fill your legs with dread at what's coming on race day
Vissershoek looks like just another hill when you swing off the N7 and approach it, it's only when you get onto it you realise how steep the gradient is.

I'm not scheduled to race this baby, with work commitments in France...
But promised 'Spat' from the Southern suburbs that I will recce it with him.
So, yeah!
