Water points in Karatara and Rheenendal

Haven't done this event before, but as far as the route goes it's some of the best riding in the Garden Route. Here's a Strava link for the 76km and some personal pics from along the route. https://www.strava.com/routes/3306643294954067818

Event Name: 7Passes MTB 2025 When: 04/01/2025 Where: Wilderness (Open Field), Western Cape Category: Mountain Bike The “7Passes MTB”, powered by Knysna Toyota is back! It’s happening on the 4th of January 2025. This route offers the perfect opportunity for gravel-bikers to take on the 29ers. E-bikers are also welcome on this non-technical route. The open grass area, directly in front of the Wilderness Hotel will be host to the start venue. Batch starts from 07H00 just before late registration between 06H00 and 07H00. There will be registration Friday evening, 3 January 16H00 to 17H30 in George at Trail Kiosk. 7Passes MTB also offers a shorter route for younger or not so fit riders who still want to be part of the action! Leeuwenbosch Dairies will once again support the 38km event which starts on Saturday morning from the Highlands Cash Store in the humble little village of Karatara. The start time for the shorter route is 09H30. Go to Event Page.

@HdB Appreciate the info

@Rowl Gotcha, thanks

@RowlThx. Also looking for groups that are less MTB specific and include general road/gravel riding, if anyone knows of anything.

Hi all 👋 Are there any good WhatsApp cycling groups for the Garden Route area that one can join? George, Wilderness, Sedgefield, and Knysna are all in play. Ideally, I'm looking for a local group / community that shares info and awareness around safety, routes, races etc. Any recommendations would be super appreciated. Thanks in advance! 🙏
