Just realised I can't ride this one because of an inescapable parenting commitment. Not sure if I can sell my 82 km entry? 

 

Probably a good thing because it's a Funky Fynbos the next day.

How tough is the 30km route?  Thinking of making it a family ride with my son (11years old).

The 53km has only 380m of climbing, so the 30km should be less than that.

sounds good then
