"We've decided to introduce the Heritage Hill MTB event onto the program as it offers social cyclists the opportunity to get involved in a mountain bike race with their colleagues, partners or friends. All while entertaining the rest of the family " said race organiser Neil du Preez. "A moderate to easy cycle course of around 7km's has been set and the teams will cycle as many laps as possible within the allocated 4 hours, with just one team member on the course at any one stage."

 

Entry will be just R200 per person, which includes a light meal from Braaishack and entertainment. A bar will be available to quench thirsty throats, a musician to keep the spirits up, masseuses to re-ignite weary legs. Online entries are encouraged on www.itickets.co.za. Cash, other cool prizes and a floating trophy are up for grabs to the team completing the most number of laps in the 4 hours. The team that sets the fastest last lap time will also we rewarded. Energy drinks will be on hand to quench the cyclists’ thirst in the transition area whilst xxx cycles will be on stand-by to help with any technical problems.

 

The event is hosted as part of the Heritage Hill Market in the Village, and caters for everyone. For the little ones there will be a Riksha course, face painting, water slides and jumping castles for the moms there’s art, food, hand craft, books and for dads there’s mountain bike and sports product stalls.

Glad you liked it!

 

Neil - are the results going to be published on line anywhere? I need to cross check, double check and recheck my lap times to see how and where I can beat those damned Cotic Mullets

 

It was an awesome event - great venue, great weather, great atmosphere, great initiative combining a market day and race. The only issue was the course marking in the first 2km - the rest was fine.

 

Thanks for a fun event - see you at the next XCO...
