Route description: 29km: Tolal ascent 470m. The climbing is very manageable with mostly gradual climb. The game reserve portion and a technical ascent and descent has been removed from the 59km race to create this route. Ideal for the novice and lesser fit rider. Route profile to be attached later. 59km: We pride ourselved on this route. If you want to make a step up from the normal 1/2 marathon distances, this is the race to do so. Seriously consider this distance if you think you may be fit enough to do so. Over 1000m ascent. Endless awesome singletrack. 20km in a private game reserve with awesome views and riding. Technical ascents and descent. Make no mistake, this is a proper mtb route and guaranteed you will want to come back to do it again next year. Highest point almost 1800m above sea level.

Looking forward to some awesome riding and trails....together with awesome race villages and atmosphere!!

Kudos to both of them for supplying us with so much excitement since their RASA started!! May the best man wins!! and then....bring on next year!!

CSA.....what a bunch of fools!.......if they cock up, they cock up in a way unimaginable!! Who were the initial selectors???

That's the whole crux of the matter!!!

Sorry, I might have missed it....Do we know who the selectors were??

Ja, dit is!! GerhardC....Gerhard Cruywagen
