For riders there are hot and cold showers at the Sports Centre and medals for finishers.. The route comprises of 55% forests, 15% sugar-cane, 20% farmland, 5% Thorn-veld, with less than1% on public roads. As always there is an abundance of single track! The complete range of MTB riders will be indulged with rides to suit their fitness and ability: MTN National Ultra-Marathon (100km). Longest individual MTB race in KZN. A really tough course to test elite riders. Flowing single track, rugged hills, plantations, farmland and bush-veld. Unique new technical descent into Umngeni Valley added this year.MTN National Marathon (75km). Less total ascent than ultra, but still a good challenge for fit riders. One of the most scenic rides in the country!NISSAN National Half-Marathon (40km). Course this year, avoiding the big climb with flowing sections in Hilton College. This ride has a bit of every-thing…bits of the pro-course but easy bits too.Buycycle Farm Ride (20km). Guaranteed, all who ride this race will enjoy it. Interesting scenery and lots of fun. New fast single track sectionAdvendurance Fun Ride (10km). Put a smile on the kids’ faces.

Tim_Fair Posted July 8, 2013 Share Max Knox & Nico Bell are separated by just 800 points. Bell stands a chance to move closer to Knox by taking a win at #MTNHilton. Knox will need to better his worst position to guarantee a series win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi Pollard Posted July 8, 2013 Share I think Knox is going to take it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikesa9 Posted July 8, 2013 Share I have just done the Nissan Cullinan ride and was really mentally unprepared for the toughness of the ride (It was much tougher than last year). I don't want that to happen again. Can anyone give me a rating on the toughness of this ride compared to Cullinan?
