"Thirdly there will be three brand new MTB routes, namely a 15km, 33km and 55km, and most of this route will only be open during the event."

Botha explained that on the 55km route riders will be taken through the privately owned nature reserve of the De Zeekoei Lodge. "The route will consist of some single and jeep track as well as open gravel roads.

Waiting for the 2017 Ostrich Crawl to start.
