Well, that’s up to you.We have tried to keep it reasonably flat, but there’s still just over 1650m of climbing.This time, for the 150km riders, we will have 4 water tables on the route, and rest stations.For the 70km riders, we will have two waterpoints:WP 1 at the 37km markWP 2 at the 60km markWe have changed the format somewhat this time, and now you have a choice of doing 150km solo only, or 70km solo only.We will not be offering team rides for the 150km ride.150km RIDESolo Ride Category – ride the full 150km on your “ace”COSTS 150km:Solo Rider – R65070km RIDECOSTS 70kmSolo Riders only – R400WHAT’S INCLUDEDRace entryMoisture management event shirt – Only valid if you enter before Sunday 21 January 2024Medical SupportWell-stocked water tablesRace timingPost-race hospitality areaPrizes and lucky draw prizesShower facilitiesRace medalComplimentary photographs for you to download from our Facebook page after the eventGo to Event Page. mecheng89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiggy Posted February 6 Share Are there any pics available? Where can we find them? First gravel race as have recently bought a gravel bike. Some proper racing, beautiful part of the far west rand on routes I've never done before. Well organised and attended, thoroughly enjoyable morning out!
