Hello Drak Descenders, From the Sani Spoors Team a hearty, healthy Compliments of the Season to all of the cycluminati. We trust that you have enjoyed a wonderful Festive Season that allowed time to spend cycling the backroads of our beautiful country… The Spoors Team have been working furiously on the Drak Descent route for 2016, including new single track that is sure to challenge and thrill the most widely travelled cyclist. This is real Mountain Biking – while the distances of the days are not huge, the Single Track will traverse terrain that is spectacular and challenging! You are guaranteed to feel a sense of accomplishment when you reach the finish! The areas explored are untouched and offer what has been described as “South African MTB’s best kept secret!” Some important news regarding the 2016 Drak Descent: Shuttle Service: Please consider reducing your Carbon Footprint and easing congestion in our mountains by making use of the excellent fundraising Shuttle Service being offered by Underberg High School. They will transport your car for you and will shuttle it to the end of the race. There is also a bus that they will run.
