STAGE 3

The day begins with some early morning challenges, featuring farm road climbs and quick kickers that add some spice to the start. The scenic singletrack of Koppie Alleen soon unfolds, offering a taste of the trails to come. Riders must hold to their handlebars and partners as they navigate the tricky Houw Hoek Switchbacks, dropping down to Waterpoint 1.

From here, it’s a fast descent down Kat Pas, weaving through the charming town of Botrivier. Riders will then tackle the renowned Wildekrans trails, winding their way through to Waterpoint 2 at Genevieve MCC.

Crossing over the Steelbridge, the route brings you to the familiar terrain of the Karwyders Contour and Gaf se Bos trails. The course then shifts gears, climbing up to Church and passing through the newly built Escape Raz, the Toyota Cruise section of the day.

Finally, riders reach the freshly crafted Benguela Trail that leads to the splendid finish at Benguela Cove. Here, amidst the vineyards and overlooking the water, a well-deserved celebration awaits.

Three days of camaraderie, stories, and adventure now lie behind you, a cherished vintage that will only grow richer with time!
