Has anybody got the route profile for the 100km next weekend? Can't see it on mapmyride.

Thank you very much!! Much appreciated.

Anybody have the 2009 of this, please.

This is probably subject to change, Dudes and Dudettes, for 2010.

Due to roadworks in Pniel - at the other end of Helshoogte - that stretches for quite a bit.



Went through there last week on the iron horse and it looks like an extensive road improvement project.

Hi All,

Does anyone have the route profile of the new route?

Jip - thats a no-go area for a road race. Its going to be sweet if they get that road done by 2011 or something.

Will link up the very nice helshoogte - and the franschoek road. That road was trashed and very narrow - dodge to ride there on the edge close to the potholes with a truck driving past and on coming traffic

So - route will not be the same

I think the route now goes out to the road just short of Klapmuts (used for return to Franschoek for Tour de Vino) to take you to Franschoek and from there more or less the same.

So with Helshoogte out of the picture, just rollers...

I have never ever in my life ridden over as many rollers as in the past few cycle races.  I swear there a kazillion of them, and they keep sending us over!

I'm really not a rolling hills fan!  Would much rather go up a hill, then come down the hill.  Not this up down up down up down up down (repeat 64 times) nonsense.

Hey I agree with you would much rather have definite hill rather than rollers.

[Sammajoor]

After last weeks race.... tell the funriders to KEEP left.... somepros are going to hand out pain.

no ways.
I love the rollers way more

I guess it would vary for each depending if you like climbing the bigger hills etc..

ROUTE DESCRIPTION

From Technopark, cyclists doing the 106km route go through Stellenbosch towards Klapmuts. Turn right before the Klapmuts 4-way stop onto the R45 to Simondium, past the Boschendal T-junction towards Franschhoek, cross the Berg River Bridge and then turn left at Wemmershoek on the R301, past the Drakenstein Prison towards Paarl. A short loop through the outskirts of Paarl takes cyclists back onto the R101 through Klapmuts, left onto the R304 and back to the finish via Spier, the Annandale Road and R44.
