Each finisher receives a water bottle. Both the 55 km and 32 km routes follow scenic jeep tracks and farm roads through vineyards and into the mountains, while the 16km and 4km are aimed at novices. The 55 km route is aimed at experienced cyclists and includes some taxing climbs with accumulated elevation of some 990m and steep downhills – do not attempt this route if you are unfit or new to the sport! The 32 km follows most of the long route with all the spectacular views, but avoids one or two tough hills. In general, these routes will test your cycling skills with gravel, shale, rocky and sandy surfaces, tough climbs and fast downhills. The 16 km route is ideal for beginners and children and follows mainly good gravel roads through the vineyards.de MTB Challenge Edited April 10, 2011 by berry

Meezo Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 mast challenge seems more tempting since this not really a tough a ride
Jaco-fiets Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 mast challenge seems more tempting since this not really a tough a ride What you mean this is not a tough ride? Then ur not pedalling hard enough! I think its nice hard ride......
Meezo Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 What you mean this is not a tough ride? Then ur not pedalling hard enough! I think its nice hard ride...... I never saw the route profile, but from the description non-technical, no single track, thought its not tough! It looks to be quite a bit of climbing
Meezo Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Still think i'm gonna give the mast challenge a blast, 110% for 10.5km's should be fun!
Jaco-fiets Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Still think i'm gonna give the mast challenge a blast, 110% for 10.5km's should be fun! If i could climb i would have joined you Meezo Take them apart! I'll go bonk in the Rawsonville valley at 40km like i did the past 2 years

I'll go bonk in the Rawsonville valley at 40km like i did the past 2 years It's my first attempt at the mast challenge, i've been up to the mast once before, riding up most of the single track and crawled to the top in 1hr20min! I'll see how long i last before i bonk hopefully at the 10km mark
Mads Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) mast challenge seems more tempting since this not really a tough a ride Mmmmm. I roughly count a ascent of about 1850m on the 30KM route. Is darem ook nie vir kinders nie hoor Edited April 10, 2011 by Mads
mountain_lion Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 The Breede ride might not have single track, but the long route is certainly not easy.The climbs will test your endurance and the steep fast down hills your handling skill. Looks like I will miss it this year though...
Buchu Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Ek gaan beslis daar wees. Die " vibe" is uitstekend daar. 55km gaan ons 'n bietjie besig hou.
Breezer Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Ek het dit verlede jaar gedoen. Die bulte is vol los klippe. Nie n maklike roete nie.
Ceres Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Still trying to get rid of a cold, I'll see on the day if I'm strong enough for the 55 km.
Stevief Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 How long will it take to get to this race from cape town??
Buchu Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Slanghoek is baie beter as Bainskloof. Jy spaar tussen 15-20 minnute deur Slanghoek.
