After breakfast, we head into the neighboring farm of Jakkals Kraal, where we ride sections of the Rust en Vrede 4×4 track and also the MTB trail. This is a day where we can try some more technical riding, but there are escape routes along the route. We will have lunch at Damse Drif and arrive back at Zandvlakte early afternoon.

We have a choice on the home run to choose a slightly more challenging route with some technical climbs. There is an option to ride the easier route and regroup at the summit.

Weekend Warrior Tru-Cape events has become are our ‘must go to stage races’ of the year.As cheap as you will ever get for a stage race experience.Day 1- nice & hard with some 'trail fun' reward coming home.Day 2 - to die for… fun fun fun - berms, jumps & fast flowing dense forest single track that don’t stop (keep them for next year please).Big shout out to the Endurade water stations - friendliest crew around. Good quality energy & electrolyte drinks & bars. Drinks are ice cold every time every year. Love the solid ‘old style food for champions’ like the bread sandwiches & bananas.Good food good trails.Can’t wait for the next one.

This was my third PEPlett and is was the best by far. The organisation was superb. Getting Food Lovers on board was genius. The villages are well laid out & the staff kept them immaculately clean. The new sections of trail were also a big surprise. You want something challenging but not unsafe. I really enjoyed every day.You can treat this event as a serious race or, as I prefer, a fantastic ride with good friends with time to stop & take a photo or two.Mike, Sandy, Shaun & now Jacques are a class act. Definitely be back next year!

If you want to feel special, do the 'M&G' PE Plett.Our accommodation was excellent and the routes magnificent. Best marked routes ever. You just could not go wrong. Distances and elevation very accurate. Stunning system of where you fit in at start with coloured bands. The vegetation and views made it extra special as well. I will definitely do this event again.
