After the success of the past few years we are looking forward to hosting this event again in 2025 in conjunction with the Nuy Festival. This year we will add a gravel ride to the event to cater for the popularity and growth of gravel riding.

The Nuy Valley, 13km from Worcester on the Robertson Road (R60), is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful hidden areas in the Western Cape.
