Route:
Starting from the Eagles Landing centre we head left out the gate and onto the single-track along Christiaan de Wet. We start and end this ride with hilly climbs and lots more in between. We all head South on flowing, never ending single-track next to the road until the Groups turn West for some technical riding. Green continues down through a picturesque park and meet up with Red in Ruimsig before turning up Peter Road back towards Beyers Naude.
The other groups ride a rocky descent to a challenging river crossing (a cautionary note for e-bikes). We then do an urban route out past the Ruimsig golf course and ride a scary dam wall past a grave site from 1901. Blue head out further towards Krugersdorp turning back near Avianto. Everyone returns via the fast downhill past the Roodepoort stadium where the last uphill of the day begins. This route has a good mix of single-track and sand roads with a fair amount of climbing.
Distances:
Green 24 km
Yellow 32 km
Red 36 km
Blue 47 km
See you all there!
