About the race

Distances are 140km and 86km Road Race and a 48km Gravel fun ride.

This iconic race takes the cyclists on an out and back from the Leipzig Farm to Louwshoek and back again before looping round the stunningly beautiful Nuy Valley.

However, we are doing things slightly differently this time.

 

Road race – New route

On Sunday 18 February we head out to Leipzig Farm in the Nuy Valley. Here we have 2 road races on the go – an 86km race plus the tough 140km race which takes in the famous Nuy Valley gravel climb, not once, but 3 times!

We are also hosting a 48km gravel bike fun ride from Leipzig towards Rooiberg and back again with stops at Saggy Stone on the way there and back again if the mood takes you.

Special thanks to our hosts Leipzig Farm and Worcester Tourism, for helping pull this all together. Also to Saggy Stone and Enchanted Oak café for sponsoring water points.

Course and distances:
140km | Entry: R400
The 140km race will start outside Leipzig Farm about 500m before the infamous gravel section. From here you will head out towards De Doorns and Rawsonville. A left onto the Louwshoek triangle will see a sprint zone set up near Daschbosch Cellars for the fast guys. We then head back towards Nuy, turning back into the Nuy Valley at Nuy on the Hill. Past the start / finish area, we then loop twice around the Nuy Valley, with a king of the mountain competition at the top of the gravel section on the final ascent. A tough course with 920m of climbing
