10km:
The 10km route have a easy flow to it, within the Shikwaru Lodge borders. We have cut out the rocky climb that was half way into the race and so shorten the distance to 8km. You will be rewarded with some easy flowing single tracks and downhill back to the race village. Total assent 100m.
35Km:
Relatively fit, intermediate skilled, recreational riders will find the short climbs and some of the rocky surfaces challenging. We recommend that riders be cautious where the surfaces and descents are dangerous and marked with arrows pointing down. Please remember to keep left and be cautious if you are approached by faster riders from behind. Words like "keep left", "on your right" or "track" are often used.
Riders will do a small loop before passing the Start/Finish at 9km again. This will provide great spectator value! Water points will be at 9km, 14km and passing the same water point again at 25km and finish at 35km.
Very enjoyable route for the fit 35km rider and a very memorable ride for the weekend warrior! Total accent 480m
