Day1
Start: Kurland Polo Field Finish: Tsitsikamma Adventure Park
Distance : 85 km ; Ascent: 2008 rn ; Descent: 2041 rn The journey to Storms River Adventure Village will see the LITE and TOUGH routes split right after the start. The TOUGH will tackle the single track of SAN PARKS through Salt River and up to the summit of Grootrivier Pass whilst the LITE will do an easy tar road start on the Rl02, rejoining the TOUGH route at the top of the Pass. It's a beautiful single track plummet to Natures Valley and then up and over. Next en route is the Bloukrans Pass designed around the Elephant migration trail and it is truly magnificent to say the least. It's the same route for the LITE and TOUGH as the field enter Witteklip in SAN Parks and the 2nd waterhole as we summit the Storms River Pass where the TOUGH again splits from the LITE. Tough heads to the coast while the LITE takes a more direct route to the Finish line at Tsitsikamm Falls Adventure Village. A sumptuous lunch, massage, bike wash, hot shower, free beer, new stretch zone and the opportunity to zipline the gorge are just some of the offerings awaiting you.
