This year’s Panorama Lite, taking place at Casterbridge on April 28 and 29, has evolved from a social race to a more serious event with prize money on offer in various categories.
This mini-version of the Panorama Tour takes place over the first two stages of its bigger brother.
It is still for teams of two and will have prize money for best men, women and mixed teams.

The two stages are 113km and 80km respectively, but the hills of Mpumalanga still present a significant challenge.
“The Lite has always been a great introduction to the longer Panorama Tour,” said race director Fiona Coward.
“Although only two days, the effort is still significant and we believe teams should be rewarded for completing these stages. We felt it was appropriate to give the Lite a competitive edge.”
The Panorama Tour is a four-day stage race over approximately 350km and takes place from April 28 to May 1.
