thanks - the route doesnt look very tough at all. I would prefer it a little longer and closer to 1500m climbing but hey! And as for family, I have two kids - Scott and (Cannon) Dale.

Is it completely different to last year or just some sections?

 

It looks like it Jaco, on the website they mention starting in the opposite direction, and its 8km shorter than previous years but seems to get some proper climbing

Ok tough is relative to how fit you are as well... But don't underestimate this one, this is one of the tougher PPA mtb races around, 1226m climbing is a lot for a 46km race, and most of it is in the first 30km as the last 10 is relative flat. The route is very rocky up and down which tires you out and add the hot Breede Valley sun and your in for a tough half-marathon.

 

Looking forward to Saturday!
