Enjoy the breather on the flat section before turning right towards the R101 and left onto the R101 towards Rawsonville. The R101 is a narrow road; keep well left of the centre line at all times. Both routes then turn left before participants pedal through Rawsonville (caution: potholes in the main road). Once through Rawsonville, cyclists will pedal past the turn-off to Louwshoek (where the previous venue was), and continue towards Worcester past the Nekkies Resort. Turn right onto the R43 towards Villiersdorp and left towards Nuy/Robertson. The routes split at the R60 Robertson Road T-junction.The 94 km riders will turn right onto the R60 towards Robertson before turning left towards Nuy. This loop includes 1,8 km of well-prepared gravel road before returning to the R60 and Worcester. The new finish is in a side road on the Robertson side of Kleinplasie – watch out for the marshals signalling a right turn into Perkins St about 600m before the finish.The 65 km riders will turn left towards Worcester when they reach the R60. The finish is as above.DISTANCES 94 km, 65 kmSTARTING TIMES 94 km @ 07h30, 65 km @ 08h30ORGANISING COMMITTEE Lions Club WorcesterVENUE Kleinplasie show grounds, R60, WorcesterENQUIRIES Hanno ConradiePHONE 082 775 9242EMAIL hanno@merwida.comPRIZE GIVING 13h00CUT-OFF 13h30PRE-ENTRIES CLOSE 05 September 2012Click here to enter online now!DIRECTIONS TO VENUEFrom Cape Town, take the N1 towards Worcester.
