It takes place over two days of 90 an 100km respectively. The first day is from Gansbaai Lighthouse to Agulhas Lighthouse and the second is the reverse, with a detour through the historic town of Elim.

I had wanted to challenge myself with something that I was not 100% sure I could do and this was the perfect event. The longest MTB race that I had done previously was 45km so this was a bit of a shock to the system. I definitely suffered on the second day where we basically rode straight into the teeth of the wind for 100km.

Nevertheless, I completed the race and am so glad that I did it. I will be back next year without a doubt, hopefully with a bit more training in my legs and some buddies to ride with.

The video was filmed 100% on my GoPro and was an experiment for me in editing video and trying to record interesting footage while racing.
