Freedom Circuit 700km Recce Ride by: Chris Fisher

In February 2021 we test rode the new Freedom Circuit 700km bike-packing route in the Drakensberg , South Africa. This was a reconnaissance ride for the inaugural Freedom Circuit 400km/700km semi-supported bike-packing race taking place 27-30 April 2021. 

We were trying to simulate the average rider experience and the 700km ride took us 100 hours to complete with a little more sleep than you might afford yourself if racing.
