The terrain changes and the tempo on the wheat farm becomes more expanded, the climbs longer and challenging. The terrain changes from striking rocky out crops and indigenous vegetation to a large plateau with spectacular views, green wheat fields and long climbs!

Locals will be presenting a marvellous selection of Darling gourmet produce including mushrooms, burgers, breads, cheese, cured meats, olive oils, preserves and much more – to enjoy at the market or take home. Riders and non-riders can enjoy artisan foods, arts and crafts, home ware and décor, live entertainment, lots of fun activities for kids, and Ormonde wines. The yard of beautifully renovated !Khwa ttu buildings will be a hive of activity, packed with delicious and beautiful country contributions.

This is a magical time along the pristine West Coast when every coastal town and inland village, mountains and fields are ablaze as an endless, kaleidoscope of wild flowers burst, almost simultaneously, into full bloom. On many special areas on this route you might find yourself surrounded by vast patches of purple dotted with yellow, or a canvas of orange with white speckles. It is said that the flowers of the Cape West Coast are strong enough to stop a car, this has to be tested on a MTB during this race. The route offers some of the best terrain available, ranging from rough back roads and jeep tracks to hills and mountain landscapes, a considerable abundance of fauna and flora. Cyclists can expect unequalled views, breath-taking scenery and close encounters with the area’s fauna and flora as they wind through the panoramic coastal and Darling hills. In terms of challenges there is no shortage of steep climbs.
