Route 42 is stoked to announce three brand new routes, at a brand new venue and to top it all the final kilometer will take you over the brand new 60m water bridge - just before the final sprint.

 

We are in the last phase of tweaking the routes making for better mountain biking and getting ready for an action packed day of MTB fun, proper  riding and mud in the sun.

 

The 10km fun ride for kids, moms &Dads and those just wanting to cruise around the farm with your new bike .

 

The half marathon is intermediate level with a little sting and a lot of water table fun BUT the brave will be challenged on the 62km marathon with a little over 900m climbing and some interesting hill climbing even a portage if the legs are not up to it.

 

Your supporters & family will watch you crossing the water bridge and getting in the last "buddy-sprint" over the finish line with a smile on the face and a cold one in the hand. 

 

FREE coffee & Rusks to all riders at registration - Get here early!!!

 

Very cool new sponsored Goodie bags"" and finisher medals from EWN&S to all paid entries/riders, get the entry done early online or on the day if you feel like waiting for d-day. Great food,  

Entries open on Bouttime.co.za - Join us on the 23rd September @ Oppiedam - you won't be disappointed .
