Some sweet singletrack on this one. They even have a rocky koppie! on the 60 km with some short technical bits as well as lekker (shortish) downhills. Well worth a try if you have not done it before. This is really a little gem in the Freestate.

Relatively new, but one of the best mtb races in the country!!!
