One of my biggest cycling regrets that I didn't do this race while it was still affordable (for me at least), I see the entry fee almost doubled since I had to give up mine 2 years ago because of illness.

 

Looks like a proper mtb event..

20km hill with 1000m elevation on day two, that photo makes me think Klapperkop training will be required

I've done it twice, you get to sleep over on registration day which other 3 day events do not offer, worth every cent.
