Hi Have not used this parking spot. If you drive through Hekpoort over the bridge about 150m on your left there is a dirt road that leads to a farm. I park there. Cost R50.

Agree it was great. I like the new section at the estate (Eye of Africa?).

Please could somebody help with a GPX file for the "new" route? Thanks.

Who doing it this year? Can we just join the 2016 365 for 365 group? Thank you.

Was on my list to do next year but see its the same weekend as the 36One Challenge!

Agree. Lost my sense of humor with those short sharp climbs.

Agree with DBAD just follow the other riders! We were at the back end of the field but there were always other riders in sight.

Same day as the TransGariep

Apologies JK7 I was thinking of this weekends Lionman. Cullinan's gain was 754m on my Garmin. I found the Lionman much tougher than Cullinan. Was a bit technical just before the narrow gap between the rocks that I hardly fit through. Cannot recall any major climbing stress (unlike Lionman). Think it is an option as a first marathon.

Close to 1000m gain. The climb to the tower was tough, long and rocky.

love2fly I did the event in 2017 and also enjoyed it. Wanted to do it again one day. Hopefully just a misfire this year!?

Yes received during the course of yesterday. Has all the info you need.

Thanks Sidersky.

Any confirmation of the race number collection point?

Was thinking of entering the event. Thanks for the advice. I'm a back marker and would not want to put myself in danger.

very sharp!!!

When I got to the finish Bavaria was sold out and only had water. I'm slow I know.

Registered for the full after doing the 2 x Relay this year!

+1 for WP5!!

Blokman you cant be at the back - I'm at the back

44 degrees predicted for Oudtshoorn today

Agree and well organised!

Thanks TSF and ycowley. My weight+climbing+sand=massive leg burn.

Got this from the web: http://inthebunch.co.za/2017/06/trails-in-top-form-for-sondela-mtb-classic/

Any route profiles available for the 40km or 60km? Much appreciated.
