After rolling off the start ramp the route took riders straight onto Meerendal’s custom-built trails before they tackled the challenging singletrack climb up "Stairway to Heaven" to the top of Dorstberg, a mountaintop boasting magnificent 360 degree views of world famous landmarks such as Table Mountain and Robben Island.

A testing singletrack climb afforded more spectacular views from the top before a fun roller coaster descent down the other side. The route headed back through steep vineyards and a steady climb past dairy fields onto the picturesque Meerendal Wine Estate, finishing off with some more singletrack to ensure riders finished the first day with big smiles on their faces.
