We created a unique and exciting event that is in a class of its own. An event where the rider gets to manage his/her own costs, spend a minimum time off work and ride the best single track variations on offer in the western cape. The track that has been prepared was designed especially for the mountain bike enthusiast over terrain that has been famous in the Ceres district for many years. We are proud what this unique format which includes a day/night section is destined to be a thrilling 3 day adventure. Day one This 40km will be a day\night ride starting at 6pm so the correct lights will be required. We expect the average rider to do the last 20km in the dark. This section of track has been part of our normal night race of the festival over the past few years and has a total elevation gain of 740m. It will be a bunch start but will have plenty of passing opportunities. The results from Day 1 will be used to seed the riders for the next day. Distance: 40km Elevation gain: 740M Single track: 30KM Day two This will be the ride of your life with a single track combination that will blow your mind and give you an all-over body workout from counter balancing your bike. The route is a combination of our trails that are open throughout the year that will include two famous climbs, “Death Drop” and “Dead Man” Walking. The last 25km will have no big climbs. Distance: 55km Elev gain/loss: 1400m Single track: 46km Day three Today is an all-new route where we go up to the Bo Swaarmoed area for the first time. It is situated close to the infamous Matroosberg mountain. Most of your climbing will be done in the first 15 km before starting with a single track which is mostly downhill all the way to the finish. Distance :45km Elev gain/loss: 1200m Single track: 37km
