Additional Information:
Most of the climbs will be in the first 60km of the ride with some technical rocky climbs and downhill in the Wolvekloof 4x4 park.
Roads will be mostly district with a small section of tar going towards Rayton and some tar crossing sections.
Last half of the ride will be mostly flat however don’t be fooled by the flat as you would have spent most of your energy on the climbs in the beginning and flat means not a lot of downhill for resting.
As winter is setting in sun is only rising later so when you start it will be dark, be sure to charge those lights for this ride and warmer kit
This is a self-navigation ride and a GPS device will be needed to do this ride, GPX file will be emailed to you closer to the time.
