ROUTE INFORMATION
Due to the proximity of the mountains, Lourensford offers plenty of climbing and downhill options. Come and enjoy a wide variety of new single tracks. E-Bikes are allowed for all three entry options.

You need to be fit and MTB skilled to take on the Classic. Average riding time is 4 hrs.The Lourensford Maxi is a great ride, similar to a Houwhoek Tour stage. It has one steep climb up to the second contour road, but from there it’s a nice blend of gravel, single tracks and contour roads. Average riding time is 3 hrs.

The Lourensford Light is a novice ride with no single tracks. Average riding time is 1.5 hrs.
