Ride Description: Come and ride the Emperor's Classic race route out near OR Tambo - perfect for beginners and families. The faster groups can just put the hammer down to get their exercise - the faster you go the more technical it becomes. 

Visitors welcome at the rides at R30 per visitor.

Directions: Park in the Emperor's Palace parking lot on the right hand side just after passing under the entrance gates. Look for the JMBC feather. Parking is apparently free if you argue diplomatically - some did get in for free last year.
