• Leaving Bekker School riders will turn left onto the R96 towards Johannesburg.
• After approx 8km of undulating roads the race will turn right onto the R563 where the infamous Hekpoort pass
  awaits.
• The route will tilt upward after 12km of riding when riders will start the proper climb.
• Hekpoort Climb is a category 3 climb and approx 4.5km long at 4.8%. Internationally acclaimed riders Chris Froome and Ashleigh Moolman Pascio hold the Strava records up this climb.
• After the climb it’s left at 19km (R400) where riders will then pass the satellite station on the left, where it all started 17 years ago. This section is really fun and fast until riders turn left at Broederstroom 18km later (47km into the race). Look out for Hot air Balloons in this area, should
  we be blessed with a cool morning.
• A small bump will expose the beautiful sight of Pecanwood Golf Estate, Hartbeespoort Dam and the Magaliesberg Mountains in the background. Riders will
  turn right and cross the dam after 55km of racing and turn left towards Hekpoort at the foot of the mountains (R560).
• From here it’s relatively flat as you start the second half towards Hekpoort. Keep something in the tank as this stretch of road might ask more of you then you
  might think.
• Turn left only 40km later where you join the R24 (Rustenberg road). After only 3km on the R24 riders will turn left onto the R95 again before finishing in front of the School 106km later.
• The finish is somewhat technical so please familiarise yourselves with this section to
  ensure a safe sprint finish.

• Riders will leave the School after the main race left towards Krugersdorp and the climb of the day.
• The 32km route however will turn left after 8km towards Hekpoort town. It’s fast and slightly downhill until riders turn left onto the R560. Look out for the riders on the long route that will join you approx 85km into their race.
• From here it is flat for another 10km after which riders will turn left onto the R24 and follow the same path home towards Bekker School.
