To celebrate spring we will once again host our 24 hour endurance event. Previously held at the Vlei Cycle Park at the end of the year, we have moved to a new venue for 2013. We could possibly be looking at alternating the venue each year, between The Vlei and Thaba. The course will be on the Seven Kilometer trails we have been riding our TWELVE and SIX hour events on. The Twelve Hour was very popular and this was held in February with the SIX hour in the Middle of the year during winter.

 

 

 

The ever popular "Village" will form part of the trail which brings all spectators and supporters up CLOSE AND INTIMATE.

 

 

 

The proceeds of this event will go to the CHOC foundation.

 

 

 

The categories will be as follows:

 

• SOLO...Men and women, Open (17-39 ),Vets (40-49), Masters (50 PLUS) No Rider under the age of 17.
• Four Man Teams...Men, Women and Mixed ( 2 men and 2 women ) COFFIN DODGERS ( 4 riders with combined age of 220 years )
• Eight Member Social Teams.
• Inter High Schools 9 hour relay. Four member teams riding from 12 noon to 9 pm. Categories..Boys, Girls and Mixed (Two boys and two girls.)

Come and warm up for Wendells 24hr with the Varsity College MTB Enduro 12hr or 6hr event, good idea to get the team tactics sorted before hitting the big one!

Breaking news.....I understand the current financial climate, so we have decided to drop the goody bags and streamline all costs to the bear minimum without dropping the standard of our event !!!!! Entries will now be R250 per rider and still whatever we make on the event will be going to CHOC. Enter on line at www.bikeabout.co.za It's still all about the children and that " cancer NEVER sleeps" see you there.

The course will riden in reverse to the normal ride ie. CLOCKWISE. 7,5 km and a really nice loop. The traditional tour through the camp sites is again making for a lot of fun.

 

When you have been close to a cancer sufferer and then think of the little children who must have such a sad view of their future, it breaks my heart and motivates me to help raise as much money for research and MEDICATION for these innocent little ones...come support a worthy cause..or just donate whatever you can afford www.GivenGain looking up my name as an activist where you can make a donation. Thank YOU!! CHOC our charity of choice.
