Re: New 94.7 Route - JHB's Alp D'Huez!
I've just seen the route, graphs and the write up. Looks like and overall better route in terms of breaks between the climbs, but I think we will still suffer.
I started with power training on the weekend already. Lets hope I'll be strong enough to conquer this new route. |

The new route kicks up constantly over the last 30 k's or so, much like the Argus. It will be tough to maintain a good average speed in those last few kilometers.

17 weeks to go ladies and gentlemen. That gives you
6 weeks base training 6 weeks speed / power etc 5 weeks peak conditioning. Get it together now and you'll be smiling. By the way, Cansa Lost City Entries close today. |

Re: New 94.7 Route - JHB's Alp D'Huez!
Yeh the new route is harder and that section on the highway has a constant hold on you overall i think the new route will be better racing for the elite.and more of a challenge to the rest of us, i would say probably add an extra 15 to 20 minutes to your previous times, that is if your at the same fitness and conditions are the same.
 :P
