XTERRA GRABOUW ROUTE DESCRIPTION

• Xterra Grabouw
• Grabouw, situated in the Western Cape atop the
  Sir Lowrys Pass, is a mountain paradise for the
  outdoor enthusiast.
• For the Xterra athlete, Grabouw offers the
  opportunity to mountain bike in widely varying
  conditions. From gravel fire roads to rough jeep
  track and technically challenging single track,
  pine plantation to Cape Fynbos. Surface
  conditions are also varied, from ragged rocky
  conditions, pine needle covered trail, loose
  gravel and of course the ubiquitous sand! Grabouw
  is NOT flat, you will need to have your climbing
  legs with you and you will need your descending
  skills fine tuned. It is, after all, the South
  Africa Xterra Championship forming part of the
  Xterra World Circuit!
• For the Trail Runners, the challenge does not
  stop. Although you will be able to stretch the
  running legs initially, it will not be too long
  before the scramble starts. The trail run leg
  will take the Xterra athlete up slopes and along
  certain trails that are not accessible to the
  mountain biker, thus offering spectacular views
  not normally seen by the casual visitor to
  Grabouw. After the main climb and the following
  descent, the trail run will bring the Xterra
  athlete along the shores of the Eikenhof Dam,
  back to the finish line and well deserved
  refreshment.
