Skollie, the url by hagar is correct and i can send some Google earth kml files if you PM me. This year the distance were shorter, but except for the second day, done on very nice jeep track, rock or sand. I don?t use a cycle computer but guess it as 60km, 80km, 60km, 40km, 30km (Did i mentioned that the 1ste day was about 40km of sand? The missus had a steep learning curve but end up on top - very proud of her) My Personal Comments on the event: You need to drink "Tafel" It focus on fun/friendship - not extreme mountains/distances. It is not a commercial event, so what you need, you take with yourself. In the evenings, "food evenings" are assigned to families and share around a single fireplace. It is finished with a black tie (your inner tube) dinner at the canon Roadhouse. After 5 days you leave the region with new friends and a hand made copper medal - mine is on a special place next to the fireplace. Now the bad news: it is almost impossible to get place at the HH - the logistics make it impossible to accommodate a lot of people and preference are given to people who had done it the year before (and they do come back). I am just a normal participant that was lucky to get a place last year - saw the poster at the Argus expo and the missus had the Liquid launch last year for that week, so i took the "gap" and went. So the applications must go through the official web site contact details. Word of mouth recommendations might swing it in your way as a new entrant. (or your cooking abilities ) Now the good news is that MTB riding opportunities might be available in the future in the Godwana area. But this is not a given and i can?t really comment more - it is the owners decision and they are looking into it currently and with this sort of interest, might just be convinced the right way. I must mention as well that a big part of the "normal" route are done on public roads so anyone can go there as a group i assume, but with the nice rides we had this year i would rather wait for the Godwana outcome.
