Epic Route training

[HJNel]

Hi guys. Doing my 1st Epic and need some advice.

 

I’m spending 3 days in Durbanville area mid December. The plan is to do as much of the route as possible. I’m familiar with the Wellington trails, but not at all with Ceres and Tulbagh. Any advice on how to spend the 3 days?

 

I was thinking 1 day in Ceres, then 2nd day in Tulbagh and 3rd in Wellington. Or potentially combine Ceres and Tulbagh in one day which would give us an extra day to have a good technical ride in Durbanville.

 

Thanks!

Ride over the witsenberg from ceres to tulbach or the other way around

Arendoog has good advice. Don't skimp on Eselfontein (Ceres) in favor of Durbanville. The technical riding in Ceres is better. Rather try to ride all the trails in Eselfontein and Wellington than ride Durbanville.

The heat training is also exactly what you'll need for epic.
