ROUTE DESCRIPTION
47.5 km – From the venue, cyclists will head out towards Paarl before turning left towards the Wellington 4-way stop. Continue along the R45 before turning left towards the Sonop Winery and left again onto the R44 before returning to the venue. There will be two water points en route. The route is primarily flat, with a few small ‘bumps’ in the Voorpaardeberg area.

13 km – Participants will follow a triangular route out towards the Wellington 4-way stop, R44 and back to the venue. There will be one water point along the route. This is an easy, flat route – ideal for first-timers!

DIRECTIONS TO VENUE
From Cape Town, take Exit 47 (Klapmuts/Stellenbosch) off the N1. Turn left onto the R44, direction Wellington. Just after the Windmeul Winery on your left, turn right onto the Noord-Agter Paarl road. 3km later, follow the parking signs and marshals into Rhebokskloof. GPS co-ordinates: S33.68489; E18.93117
From Paarl, follow the main road North. Keep left at the first fork, and left again at the next one. Follow the parking signs and marshals to the venue.

NOTES
Great goody bags worth more than your entry fee for the first 350 entries, so get your entry in soonest! Awesome lucky draw prizes include a Giant Bicycle, a night’s accommodation at any Protea Hotel, Canal Walk vouchers and much more. All finishers will receive a lovely medal.

Results for all 47 km riders wearing transponders. The 13 km will be untimed. PPA members will start ahead of non-members.

Entries for the long route are open to all female cyclists over 16. Female riders who had entered the 13 km are welcome to bring their children (both male and female), 10 years and older, along for the 13 km route. Children in the 13 km route must be accompanied by the adult at all times (up to three children riding with one adult); children’s entries for the 13 km will be taken only on the day.

After the event, stay for wine tasting, or visit the Rhebokskloof restaurant. A jumping castle will be available at the venue. (Your other half is welcome to hang out at Rhebokskloof and look after the kids while you have fun on your bicycle.)
