The 11 km route is non-technical and suited to beginners and youngsters, and can be enjoyed as a trail run as well. The short MTB route and the trail run will be untimed. DIRECTIONS TO VENUETake the N2 from Cape Town. Continue over Sir Lowry’s Pass past the Grabouw turn-off towards Bot River. Pass the Peregrine Farm Stall (on the right). Shortly thereafter, turn left at Kromco Apples to Paul Cluver on your left.

Meezo Posted August 19, 2015 Share The tough 60 km route will be limited to 250 fit, experienced cyclists with a current PPA seeding of MA-MC and will include the testing climb and technical descent over Groenlandberg. Participants may be rerouted onto the 47 km in the event of adverse weather conditions. so if i don't have a MA-MC or even a seeding at all, i can't do the 60km?

raptor-22 Posted August 19, 2015 Share no but maybe at current prices crowd funding would help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lerouc Posted September 9, 2015 Share PPA, i get there to register, my entry is there, wifes is not. Now we need new PPA boards and then the lady guesses my wifes seeding after i tell her that its probably very close to mine because we usually ride together but she says no and gives me the crap board. I ask her okay i drive all the way there to have less effort on sunday what i get back to the office and she has her seeding wrong, lady tells me in a irritated tone of voice then you can get a new board sunday morning. I get back to the office and guess what, she needs to be in the same group as me. Why if you cannot work with people are you in a job which requires you to work with people, and could she really not have just done a quick lookup (i am guessing PPA owns computers) and then everything would have been fine.
