This team may have any number between 6 and 12 riders. Mixed – a minimum of 3 female riders need to finish within the first 6 riders of this team. Failing to do so will result in this team being classified as an Open Team. Open (any combination of gender) – An Open Team may consist of male riders only, or teams with fewer than 3 female riders.   ROUTE: The route starts off deceptively gently, with mild undulating hills from Clarens towards Bethlehem. There’s a water point just after exiting Bethlehem on the R26, where you can also restock the energy levels. From Water Point 1, the route follows the undulating R716 past farmlands towards Warden and Eenzaamheid. This section of the route has a good road shoulder and teams should be able to get into pacelines and post some good speeds here. The second water point is at roughly 70 km, just before turning right at the four-way stop onto the R57 towards Kestell. Water and Coke will be offered here. The R57 again offers a good road shoulder and with undulating hills, teams should be able to maintain some good speeds. By now, though, the undulating terrain may start to take its toll and teams will have to dig deep to maintain a good average speed to make the cut-off at Kestell. Teams will meet up with their Team Support Vehicles in Kestell at the official Team Support Zone. (Please note that team support vehicles are not allowed to follow teams along the route. Teams found to be doing this may be disqualified.) The Team Support Zone is in front of the local Kestell Hotel, where supporters and spectators will find breakfast, light meals, and cold beer for sale. Please note that there is a cut-off at 11h45 for teams to arrive at the Team Support Zone and teams that miss this cut-off will not be able to continue as the event cut-off (16h45 in Clarens) will not be reached in time. There will be a 30min “time out” at the Team Support Zone in Kestell. The team’s clock will stop once the 6th rider of the team crosses the first timing mat at the team support zone. The team’s time will start again as soon as the first rider of the team crosses the 2nd timing mat at the exit of the Team Support Zone.
