Riders will then make their way to Petrusburg, down and over the Modderiver. A long “drag” and a few climbs awaits the rider that will separate riders from each other in to the finish at Route 64 Kimberley(Gum Tree Lodge) This MATSA is open to solo participants, as well as relay teams that consist out of four (4) riders, and relay teams of two (2) riders which will ride a distance of 80km each.
