  2. ‍♀‍♂ EXCITING Changes & Highlights For the Mountain Bike Route! ‍♀‍♂ * NEW single track routes: Both the 50km MTB and 30km MTB routes will feature some brand new single track through Boesmansrivier MTB farm, followed by sections of the Klipspringer Trail in the Walker Bay Fynbos Conservancy * LESS climbing - MORE fun: The 50km route is somewhat easier than in previous years in terms of less overall elevation gain. However, exciting single track will keep the ride interesting, along with some technical sections to ensure a decent challenge. * SPECTACULAR views: All of the MTB routes offer impressive views and an awesome experience in the Conservancy. However, the 50km is particularly special; On the longer routes, you will be able to catch views of both the sea and the valley, as well as enjoy riding through fynbos, forests and wide open spaces. * ALL levels welcome: The 50km requires that the rider is comfortable on a MTB, as there are some technical sections. The 30km is a great route for the average-intermediate rider, but it is still through Fynbos valleys and on MTB routes. The 15km is appropriate for beginners and is an easy route around the dam. ‍♀‍♂ AWESOME Trail Running Routes also! ‍♀‍♂

Being one of the most picturesque areas in the Western Cape, you will be rewarded with great views of the Theewaterskloof dam as you wind your way through fruit orchards. It is a great starter route for the young and novice riders. The 35 km route is an extension of the 15 km route and is aimed at less fit or less experienced riders. The route meanders through beautiful orchards and over a few rolling hills before finishing on the banks of the Theewaterskloof dam. It consists mostly of well-maintained farm roads with fairly good surface, but there are one or two technical sections with steep climbs which will test rider skills. The 55 km route starts off with an additional 20km loop which has some steep climbs and technical roads before it joins the 35km route. This rewarding route will take riders through apple-, pear and berry orchards, as well as part of the Groenlandberg. Some technical sections and pretty rough jeep track will test the fit rider’s skills and reward them with breath-taking views of the valley and the Theewaterskloof dam. The second, faster part of the route will take finishers to the final stretch on the banks of the Theewaterskloof dam. TRAIL RUN ROUTE DESCRIPTION: 15km Trail run: This beautiful run is both for the fit and adventure seeking. Within the first 2km you can expect to come across a Blesbok or Zebra as you make your way through a private game reserve as you climb the initial ascent. You will have to do a little bit of bundu-bashing and might even endure wet feet, but this is not in vain as from there it is mostly smooth orchard trails with stunning views of the the waterskloof dam and mountains. The last 2km takes runners to the shores of the dam onto hard packed sand and rocky patches to the finish. 7.5km Trail run: The shorter route initially follows the 15km route but turns off to take you on a more direct route to the dam with smooth orchard trails and beautiful views to the finish on the the waterskloof dam's shore. DIRECTIONS TO VENUE Take the N2 direction Grabouw. At the Peregrine Farm stall take the turn-off to Grabouw. Take the first turn-off on your right to Villiersdorp R321 (at 'Two-a-day'). About 23 km's down this road you will go through a small town Vyeboom. Just follow the road until you see the IdeaFruit Packshed on your right, opposite the Theewaterskloof Dam. About 50minutes drive from Somerset West. Registration and late entries from 7am - 9am at the venue. Medals to all finishers. Lots of great lucky draw prizes. Entertainment for the kids and food and drink stalls also available. FREE BIKE WASH - SPONSORED BY VAN DER VYVER TRANSPORT Go to Event Page
