Route description:
Ensure you warm up good as the route starts with a 13km climb on an easy rolling gravel road with sandy patches.
After this we have a short easy section before we turn right. This portion of the road is a hard rolling surface but its only for a short period.
You will then turn right again, from here its nice rolling surface but beware of the climbs ahead.
The next right turn will take you on a short but loose rocky section and a nice long climb again, the surface has some sandy spots but in general it’s nice and smooth.
On the next turn the surface stays smooth until we get to the descend, its a nice long easy ride to the finish.
Please note that the descent has smooth sections, some bumpy rocky section and sandy patches, at the bottom we turn right to the start/finish line at Klipspringer Gasteplaas Venue.
Please do not go on the tar road, stay on the right side of the tar road, on the gravel section until you enter the venue again.
The route will be well marked, but if you do the longer distance you do the same route all over again!
1st turn +- 16km
