We'll also be "launching" (first release as they call it) their Rose on Saturday - bottles only getting their labels tomorrow. To crown this you'll ride right past the actual vines where the Rose's grapes were grown. Weather looks like it's going to play along and we'll get a perfect sunshine day !

Tx Rookie - this race is 2 weeks before the Karoo 2 Coast and we have riders that do this to gauge themselves ito fitness. The last 2 years this date was used by Al-2-Hez MTB but they not running the event this year - hence we took the date. We have a race in dec in Stilbaai (holiday) and also one in March / April (holiday) which attract a lot of holidaymakers.
