RACE UPDATE!!!

We are including a 40km Fun Ride as part of this event.  Details have been added below.  So if you’re not sure about racing in the league, at least you can come and enjoy the beautiful Slanghoek Valley in a more relaxed ride, yet still with the full support of a league race.

We’re back in the beautiful Slanghoek Valley for the final of our league races after we had to cancel the previous race.  Please note we have moved back to our previous venue at Eike Saal which is just before the Goudini Road intersection.

Entries have reopened for those who missed out first time round

The route is a mixture of rolling hills on the one side and a flat sometimes windy section called ‘Waaihoek’ on the other side. The race will cross the Breede River by using the low cement bridge. Please keep on checking social media should this area experience heavy rains.
