KLEIN KAROO GRAVEL CORRIDOR SERIES

Ladismith 7th May 2023

Distances:  100 & 150km

Venues:  Oaksrest & Prinspoort Klein Karoo

Finish:  Saaikamer/Tafelkop Droë Vrugte Montagu

Entry fees: R650 & R750

Timing: Great Time

This is a brand new event addition to the Gravel Corridor Series with two route options.  The start venues differ for the two distances.  You will accumulate points for this event that will count towards the overall series, that ends with the last race in November.

This event is a point to point route which starts in Ladismith and ends in Montagu.  The registration will be the day before at Oaksrest Guest Farm.  They have self catering accommodation and lovely camping spots next to a dam.  See pics and info below.

The 100km route starts from Prinspoort Klein Karoo Stay at 7am.  They also have a variety of stunning accommodation but space is limited, please book asap.  Alternative accommodation links are available on the Makadas website.

Route:

This is a stunning route, it travels through an area where the locals still uses donkey carts and it really feels like time has slowed down out there.  The terrain varies quite a lot from good hard compact gravel roads to twisty sections all along the back of the Anysberg.  Again like with the Montagu's event I think there will be record time's set up on this particular route.

Entries are open
