About this route
An epic mixed-surface XC route climbing away from the dam basin into the surrounding escarpment, combining technical singletrack sections through rock outcrops with jeep-track descents back to the floodplain. Substantial elevation gain rewards fit riders with panoramic vistas across the Northern Cape.
