Dear joberg2c rider
We hope you and your families and friends have a had a good holiday.
This is a message to let you know that you are one of the luckiest mountain bikers in the world...
After 11 years of awesome adventures, joberg2c as you know it will come to an end after 2022 and you will be riding it out, with us, on a high..
2022 is going to be the best year to date!
There are numerous smaller reasons for this decision notwithstanding the impact that Covid has had on the event, but the main reason is the life changes amongst the organisers, Gary, Glen and Wappo.
Farmer Glen will continue to farm, to do sani2c and most importantly he is about to become a grandad and he wants more time at home.
Farmer Gary will continue his fine form as a grandad, farmer and he will continue to work with his family on Berg and Bush and Oxpecker.
Wappo will be starting a new event in the Free State and Berg to support the villages that depend on the funds from joberg2c, and to keep the vibe alive.
Thanks to your support, joberg2c became an iconic mountain biking ride showcasing the very best of communities from city to sea. We have put over R35 Million back into these communities and we are immensely proud of this, thanks to the great support from adventurous people like you who are prepared to go the extra mile to get the most out of life.
If your friends or family still want to ride, we know that some international riders may not make it, so tell them to get their arses into gear and to ride the final joberg2c 2022 with you.
