Julie se Baai and STABLES provides the perfect venue for our coastal autumn morning start @ 07H00 for the first 10km cyclists and the rest will follow @07H30. Once the kick off whistle blows on Monday the 5th of April 2021, its all the various cyclists to combine their effort on the last day of cycling. The testy climbs along the GOUKOU River will soon spread the field out and from there it is in to farms and more farms, river crossings and the first test of the day towards the BEACON. The pace will vary from cyclist to cyclist, each with their own personal goal in mind.

A really sweet section of single-track after 8km on the cobble stones and gravel travel sets the tone for the journey ahead: long stretches mixed with sections of happiness. The private farmlands are picturesque. Places like Kleinbergskloof, Palmyra, Waterryk and Riethuiskraal will awaken your imagination. The Klipfontein farms of Altus Joubert and the olive farmyard surrounded by epic rock walls are something not to be found in the rest of Southern Africa.
