ROUTE DESCRIPTION 

The 50km and 35km routes include new single track that is open to the public, year-round! The longer routes require technical expertise and fitness to handle the long climbs, rocky, twisty descents and river crossings. The 15km route includes one steep climb, while the rest is a mild pedal back to town. 

From the Sports Grounds, all routes head out through orange groves and across farms to tackle the fairly steep climb up Middelberg. The 15km then returns, while the two longer routes split at Lentelus, with the 50km route heading out to Elandskloof. The routes rejoin at Goeweneurskop, where stunning views and more singletrack (fast, rocky downhill!) through fynbos await. The last part of the ride combines scenic riding along farm and gravel roads through fynbos and orange groves with more climbs and fast descents. In all, a ride devised by cyclists, for cyclists!

DIRECTIONS TO VENUE

From Cape Town, take the N7 towards Malmesbury. Continue past Malmesbury, Moorreesburg and Piketberg and travel over the Piekenierskloof Pass. Immediately after the pass, turn right towards Citrusdal. As you enter Citrusdal, turn right at the four-way-stop and follow the signs to the sports grounds. Allow approximately two hours travel time from Cape Town.

NOTES
