We have checked out the course at the Koppenberg 'cross and the general consensus is it's a killer.

The famous cobbled climb is no big deal. The course swings off about two thirds of the way up for a moment of brief respite before the ascending starts again, this time on cow-pat strewn grass and mud. Half of the under-23 field were off and walking here on the first lap. Race over.
