210km Corridor Race Route

This is the showcase route of the Klein Karoo Gravel Corridor, passing through 45km of the Anysberg Nature Reserve. The climbs on this route (though not a lot) is short and sharp. You will find corrugation in sections but with a bicycle it is avoidable, the route surface will vary from vary had smooth high speed gravel to sections that is almost cobble stone and even short sandy patches. This route has something of everything and the scenery is unsurpassed.
