  1. Event Name: Babbas Lodge #1 When: 10 January 2016 Where: Babbas Lodge Pretoria, Gauteng Category: MTB Cyclists say everyone has to experience Babba’s at least once! It’s flat and fast (with a few patches of sand and mud) and not very technical. So it’s a great venue for the racing snakes as well as those who are new to mountain biking. There is a choice of 3 great MTB routes to choose from including a 1km loop for the kids! The 66km route is two laps of the course. More information: www.francosport.co.za/ Go to Event Page
  2. Wild be a wild ride! There are hippo's crocodlies and yes, the Big 5 in the reserve, but don't worry, for the first event you'll be safe inside the Lion enclosure
