The well-stocked refreshment stations have food, snacks and cold drinks. There will be technical zones at the water points and marshals provided by Jan Kriel school as a fundraiser.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 1 \u2013 Route Description:<\/strong><br \/>The day remains consistent with our goal of having an easier day than Day 2 with approx. 12km of single track.<\/p>\n<p>Various sections of singletrack and the blue route on Delvera with boardwalks offer non-technical alternative to some of the gnarly sections and rock gardens. Those who enjoy more technical riding are welcome to tame the rougher sections on the route.<\/p>\n<p>As can be seen from the profiles there are many undulations, but the elevations are less severe.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-43024900-1548405637.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1411811\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1411811\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-43024900-1548405637.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-43024900-1548405637.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 1: Long Route<\/strong><br \/>Distance: 55km, Elevation: 1380m<br \/>Insert route profile image<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-15151700-1548405640.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1411814\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1411814\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-15151700-1548405640.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-15151700-1548405640.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a><br \/><strong>Day 1: Short Route<\/strong><br \/>Distance: 42km, Elevation: 960m<br \/>Insert route profile image<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-60567100-1548405640.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1411815\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1411815\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-60567100-1548405640.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-60567100-1548405640.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Each participant of the two-day stage race will receive the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Goodies at registration, including bottle wine\n<\/li>\n<li>Morning coffee, breakfast snack and daily lunch buffet\n<\/li>\n<li>Medal, BOS drink &amp; Zebonkey beer\n<\/li>\n<li>Refreshment stations on route stocked with snacks and energy drinks &amp; water.\n<\/li>\n<li>Bike Wash &amp; Lube\n<\/li>\n<li>Bike Park (overnight if wanted)\n<\/li>\n<li>Live Timing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As always there will be shaded area to relax after your ride, with showers, a bike park, bike wash &amp; lube station and a massage service on offer.
