Cradle of Humankind route

[DR ◣◢]

Reviving an old topic. 

 

What is the distance of the MTB loop these days? Not sure if it keeps getting developed or not. 

 

Would like to do it again this weekend. The last time we didn't quite have the legs to finish it and cut back on the road after about 15km to finish at 30km.

I did the loop last week, just under 29km staying on the route. If you are worried about fitness, do the climbs on the road, much easier, then hop back on for the descents.

Fitness is no longer the issue. Just wanted to confirm the distance. 

 

Thanks so much.

Go early if you want to have a reasonably free flowing ride, as in before 07:00. Lots of newbies on the trail stopping in the middle of the path etc.

Can confirm, was there at just before 07:00, started as Valverde. Was not in the way of many riders,
