DAY 1 | Stage 1 ROUTE INFORMATION
DISTANCE : 58KM
ELEVATION : +1400 m
Wittedrift – Cairnbrogie. 58km and 1400m climbing
We start in the small village of Wittedrift and soon climb out of the valley up to Protea Wilds. We then venture into MTO before entering the indigenous Fisanthoek Road, we then descend the last single track of Petrus se Brand towards the N2. We climb back up the Fisanthoek Road and take an amazing indigenous single track to the old Coffee Pot railway line where the early Knysna foresters hauled logs. We then sneak under the N2 at Bracken Hill and head towards the Harkeville indigenous forest (more indigenous single track) and towards the finish at Cairnbrogie Dairy Farm. Just before we head onto the farm we do one or two of the famous MTO single tracks and then home to finish.
