I may also plan to get there, say 7.00 arrival to start riding 7.15.

 

Likely to take on about 65 km which means the strips, tannie miems, the mine, Oom Piets, then up to the Greek Church and Jou Bliksem, back via the river.

 

I'm not hellishly fast, kind of medium speed person!

 

What kind of distance / technicality / speed are you looking for?

Hi L.T.G.

 

Is the Rhino race a social ride or a race? If social ride, what is the time estimation for the 50km?

And what is the ascent on the 50km?

Will the route follow some of the MTN marathon route?

New additions at VG

 

"Very close to the farm, The idea behind it? We want to create a lap around the farm for kids to ride safely( these bridges are not included on their lap)... We want to develope technical skills, pushing riders boundaries with a combination of berms, jumps, drops. First it will act as a warm-up lap and training route, giving you the option to skip or attack each obstacle... Hope this news gets some of the technical riders excited!"

What route did you do? I rode on Saturday and found the signage to be fine.

very straight forward, you can either  head out on the river trail till you pass under the district road's bridge and follow the right turn up to the church, or you can do the whole river route, then at the end turn right loop round back on the district road almost to the bridge mentioned above where you'll turn off left just before you get to it and head up to the church.
