Willow Creek mtb race

I have done this race about 3 years ago. Route probably changed since then.

 

Any feedback on the race. Maybe a profile on the 60km route?

Sorry I dont know how to copy the link in here with my phone. It is a PPA event and there is talk about a vodacom tower climb on movershill. Maybe this hill strikes fear into the local riders

Think the route will stay the same, BUT the will have to make a plan with the +/-8km downhill after the top of mowershill. I rode it a few weeks back and the rain at the beginning of the year trashed the jeeptrack. But its still a good ride. Ride it every time a get time since we farm 10km from mowershill will keep the section on our farm nice and clean for the riders to enjoy.

Thanks for the info! Tell more about the climb. How long? How about the rest of the route?

I've done the 30km last year so aiming for the 60km this year.

haven't done the 60k route yet just the mowers climb. it tricky if you climb all the cobblestone hills without dismounting you should receive a award, but its certainly do-able and great fun. and from there on it the downhill to the finish.
