LONG ROUTE (86KM) SHORT ROUTE (51KM) MORE ABOUT THE SPORTIVE SERIES This series of fun rides are aimed at all cyclists, from beginners to experienced riders, and offers the perfect platform if you want to keep fit riding road events throughout the year, improving your times and setting a new personal best. If you’re brave enough to take on the challenge of the longer routes, the series is a great test for endurance and stamina … and needless to say, completing all the events will be a great source of personal achievement. No pressure though! Each one is also a standalone event, so you don’t have to enter all in the Sportive Series. Following this event, there will be three events remaining, spread throughout the year: PPA Sportive #7: 13 Oct, Perdeberg Winery (109km/39km) PPA Sportive #8: 1 Dec, Simonsvlei Winery (86km/51km) THE SPECIAL FINISHER’S TROPHY This year, we have decided to do away with medals and do something more innovative and challenging – you will get a beautiful 3D bicycle puzzle that you can assemble once you have have completed all the events. The way it will work is that after each event, you will receive a few pieces of the trophy … complete all eight events and you can assemble the little road bike on a stand. However, even you haven't done all the Sportive Series events, or won’t manage to do all the events, you’ll still be able to buy the missing pieces at a very reasonable cost at the Sportive #8. We still want everyone to have that trophy to display at their home or office. DIRECTIONS TO THE VENUE Follow the N1 to the R44. Take exit 47 from the N1. Turn left onto the R101. The venue will be on your right-hand side at 6.2 km. GPS Co-ordinates: Latitude: -33.894066 Longitude: 18.5368146,11 NOTES Remember to wear your PPA road fun ride number and Racetec timing chip.
