The infamous Red Hill sees our 4th race in the league series. Fast-paced through Simonstown, and then THAT climb!
Our second league race takes us to one of our favourite venues – Perdeberg Cellars. 5 loops of a challenging 25km circuit mean 125km in the legs and 1300m of climbing. It’s tough but you’ll love it!
Don’t forget to support Eat@Perdeberg – Rob and his team make the most amazing breakfast buns plus a pizza after the race will be great for recovery. Spectators Welcome!!!
