The Medium Route returns to the finish, whereas the Long Route continues along the Klein Drakenstein mountain slopes before heading home on this challenging, but captivating course.

markmad Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Just entered for the 3rd year, would recommend this to those that have not done it.
Johny Bravo Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 I will be there. About 6km from my house, great race. See you all there.
CleatsnCleavage Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 its the day after the Chris Willemse Derbie Dash but maybe I will be in need of some MTB and this was an excellent race last year (despite my less than impressive endo while very high on a mountain). Havent ridden in Paarl since start of the year and it is truly lovely out there.

Mads Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 This is my favorite race. Was my first MTB race ever and I absolute love this race. Awesome route with the smoothest singletrack you can find under the trees. I missed last year but are going to make a effort to do it this year.

lerouc Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Rode the 42km last week to check the condition of the course, here is the latest up-to-date profile...How much is the elevation for th 25km, as per the previous profile it said 40km 1000m and now its 1500m. Is the 25km 400m or 600m?
GEDDAN RUDDOCK Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 How much is the elevation for th 25km, as per the previous profile it said 40km 1000m and now it s 1500m. Is the 25km 400m or 600m?Please use latest profile posted. Bear in mind that this is generated on Google Earth, which is not 100% accurate. According to my Garmin profile (which of course is more spot on), elevation gain is 1225m. So let's work on +-1200-1400m.
