Here they will be greeted by the third and main water point on the day. Here riders will be treated to ice cold, locally brewed craft beer and numerous bites to fuel them for the second half of the ride.

Riders will have 6 water points to fuel up along the way.
Ride The Karoo’s 80km ride also head out along the same route as the 160’s but take a short cut just past water point 1 at about 22km into their ride to join in on the second half of the long route, passing local farms and numerous wildlife scenes along the way.
