Sewanee Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 The race is spectacular. It is mainly single and jeep track with a few hills thrown in. The Donga is something special but the race snakes will not appreciate its beauty and it is approximately 1km long. Ride with tyres slightly softer due to the rocky nature of the terrain. Have already entered so should have a tee shirt coming. Not a race to be missed! I envy you pre-riding the course this weekend.
Tim_Fair Posted May 31, 2013 Author Posted May 31, 2013 MTN Rooiberg Marathon pre-ride tomorrow at 8am from Jackelsdans Hotel. Join us!

Tim_Fair Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 Look out for some of the features along the route, such as Butchers Hill, Roller Coaster, Kloof Dam, Die Skottel, Seven Sisters and the exhilarating Bush Tunnels.
