Induna Adventures is calling all mountain bikers for a life changing experience!! How much fun can you have on a mountain bike? The answer will be found on 9 June at the 2012 First Ascent Big Induna MTB challenge in Hazyview, Mpumalanga. Team Induna is working around the clock to perfect rider & spectator satisfaction by adding more value to the venue and dishing up a route with a difference.

 

This is your opportunity to ride in a unique and spectacular environment. Forget endless fire road and jeep track climbs where road bike endurance more than MTB skill prevail, the First Ascent Induna MTB Challenge serves up an entirely different menu to get your teeth into! Characterized by hand cut trails snaking through indigenous forest, the course serves up a mind-blowing mix of short sharp climbs, rock shelves, rooty drops and fast bermed switchbacks, throw into this a few shallow water crossings and even some single tracks beaten flat by hippos and you will not regret taking up the challenge!

 

Making the race even more enjoyable is the Lowveld’s warm winter climate, a welcome break from the chilly highveld, camping at the venue will be comfortable and the race atmosphere festive.

 

This is truly a Mountain Bike race for those of us who want the full experience, a race where skill and determination can outrace and outwit just mere fitness. An epic mountain bike race isn’t defined by distance alone, it’s a bellyful of thrills, a mud splattered grin and the satisfaction in your own personal victory! Give your bike what it really wants, and what you deserve!

Valencia 10km - First Ascent Big Induna MTB Classic Sponsor.

 

The hills around Hazyview are not flat. So do expect some climbing to warm-up the legs. The route will take you to a breathtaking waterfall, were you are welcome to take a breather. The waterpoint will come just in time to replenish the lost energy while you gather your guts to tackle the last half. Be sure that the last 800m is a downhill, that will make you smile all the way home.

New Distance!!!

 

The First Ascent Big Induna mountain bike race is introducing a new distance this year:

The Seasons in Africa 20km! This distance will differ from the 10km fun ride in that:

· There will be prize money for the first 3 cyclists in both genders in the one and only, overall category

· It will follow the exact same route as the 45km 75km and 120km, up until the first water point and then head back. This means, it will be no monkey business, and a level of skill and fitness is required.

Thanks to Seasons in Africa in making this new exciting distance possible to the nation.

What a fantastic race!! REALLY looking forward to this event! A race not be missed...
