ROUTE DESCRIPTION
Cyclists will have a choice of the three most beautiful routes to date. The new 75km Whale Route takes you literally around Potberg. Both the 55km Eland Route and the 32km Bontebok Route will show you the beauty of the De Hoop Nature Reserve as cyclists make their way down to the rugged coast line. The 10km Vulture Route is a safe, fairly flat course on gravel roads through the farmlands, ideal for children. There will be the usual fun and action at this annual event, which is fast becoming one of the draw cards on the mountain biking calendar.

DIRECTIONS TO VENUE
Take the N2 to Caledon and take the Bredasdorp turn-off. Continue with the main road through Bredasdorp and turn left onto the Swellendam road, then turn right towards the De Hoop Nature Reserve. You now still have roughly 50km of dirt road until the start at the Potberg Environmental Centre; expect to take over 2 hours from Cape Town.

NOTES
The event starts 50km outside Bredasdorp – please allow enough time to get there! Note: Prizes and times will be allotted only to cyclists wearing a transponder. Reduced fee for the 10km ride. All children u/10 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Remember to bring and wear your PPA funride number, or a temp day number will have to be bought. Additional CSA day licenses are required for Non-CSA/ Non-PPA members for MTB routes over 20km.
