MAXI BIKE ROUTE

For the Mini Escape, the bike leg will leave the prison grounds and follow the road beside the dam, avoiding the main road connection between Rawsonville and Worcester via Nekkies.

The Maxi participants, on the other hand, will turn left onto the main road, heading towards Rawsonville. At the first bridge, they will turn left onto Louwshoek Boontjiesrivier Road, proceeding straight to the T-junction, where they will turn left again, forming a triangular route. This will be repeated twice, and on the second completion, cyclists will face oncoming traffic on the 650m stretch back to the road leading into the prison along the dam.
