I'm not saying this will be the route, but a simple Strava search returned Stage 1 and Stage 2 of last year.

Thanks Koei

 

Just a quick question please ? How much of day 1 and day 2 overlap ? I am intersted in doing it but dont want to do both days if the course is very similar on both days.

Any feedback appreciated.

Thanks

[Fisan]

From what I could derive: very little. Blue: Stage 1. Red: Stage 2. Purple: Overlap.

But once again, this is based on last year's route.

I am working on the route,  we have done alot to make sure we don't overlap at all.  However, Land access and land owners play a massive role in this, and we are constantly working on those relationships to ensure that we can use their land so we don't end up overlapping.  Anything can change though.

What I can say, is the stuff on Wilderkrans is amazing, and the views on the whole race will be well worth the effort

According to the website this race will be an upgrade to previous years due to Stillwater Events taking over. I did this race in 2013 which was quite nice

 

Hoping for an even better experience this year round. Using it for Gravel & Grape training

 

Facebook page have estimates of 1 450m climb day 1 and 950m climb day 2

 

Will the Wilderkrans single track used for W2W be used in this race?

It seems like I will not be able to do this one. Getting eye surgery done on 20 April so no riding for at least 4 weeks. [emoji53]

Selling my entry for R750 (full price was R900).

No... Accommodation is on each riders own account.
