Krokodilpoort MTB Challenge - 4 August

[Jacobi Bach]

THRU THE GORGE FOR CHARITY!

 

Whether you’re a Weekend Warrior or a full on Racing Snake you owe it to yourself and your mountain bike to get out to Paradors Game Ranch (1 hour drive from Nelspruit) on the 4^th of August to sample some of the best mountain biking our beautiful Lowveld has to offer.

 

From a welcoming venue with farm stalls and family atmosphere the routes head out into real Lowveld Bushveld, abundant game is easily spotted from the saddle as you wind your way down well trodden farm paths before the steady climb up the ridge leaves you breaking out onto stunning views towards Eureka mine and Bulembu beyond.

 

But just as the climb rewards you with the panoramic landscape so too are your senses rewarded with the fast, twisty downhill tracks, part single track, part jeep track and a total blast. Over dam walls, up short kickers and once again more stunning vistas open up, this is real ‘out there’ mountain biking, not a manicured track or forest plantation in site, just you, your bike, a ribbon of dirt and mother nature.

 

There’s a 2km, 12km, 35km or 60km rides available. The ride will start 08:00 on Saturday morning.

 

Online entries close 30 July and late entries will be charged an additional R 30.00 visit www.entrytime.co.za

 

If you are riding, joining in all the fun activities or enjoying the food stalls you will know that the profit made with this challenge will be supporting women & children in distress and elderly people in our communities.
