[ASG]

Event Name: Jozi Night Rider MTB Series #4
When: 21 June 2013
Where: Heia Safari Ranc, Gauteng
Category: MTB

As winter creeps in its time to dig out the beanies and gloves for the most exciting event of the month in Johannesburg.

 

 

The 4th event of the Jozi Night Rider takes place at Heia Safari Ranch on the West Rand on 21 June and it’s going to be bigger and better, colder, but lots more fun. We have yet again added new features, more events and even more fun to ensure the best night out.

 

 

Three months on in the route building process, the routes are now smooth and fast. The water points are bigger and better, the entertainment louder and the food and bon fires ever present to create the well-known Night Rider vibe.

 

 

These are just some of the great things you will experience come 21 June:

 

 

Intiem Magazine Ladies Race

 

The Intiem Magazine Ladies race is a 10km ride starting at 4:30pm to ensure there will be more than enough light on the route for those women who are a little nervous at night.

 

 

This event is presented in conjunction with the ladies from Intiem Magazine. The route is safe and scenic with no serious technical sections, just a whole lot of fun. There are also Goodie bags for all finishers. Please note that ladies wanting to compete in the other events on the evening are welcome.

 

 

3km Kiddies Race

 

We have made a number of changes to the kiddies route to ensure fun and entertainment. The kids will get to ride alongside Giraffe and Zebra, down some amazing single track but not too far from mom and dad.

 

 

This event will give them a taste of what mommy and daddy talk about when they say they’re going on a ride, and making them feel like true mountain bikers. We have lead and sweep vehicles as well as marshals and safety personal on route to ensure your little angels are treated like gold.

 

 

Once there done there are lots and lots of supervised activities for them to do while mom and dad take on the big stuff

 

 

10km Schools Challenge

 

A new addition to the Jozi Night Rider is the Schools Challenge. This event will see which schools have the best mountain bikers.

 

Starting at 6:15pm with the main 10km Night Riders, schools can enter as many riders as they want with teams consisting of 4 members. We will have 2 age groups, under 15 and under 18 (Girls and Boys). The top 3 members’ times will be added to give the team a time. Over the next 4 consecutive Jozi Night Riders we will add the times of each event and whoever has the lowest combined time after the 4 events will be the School Challenge Champion.

 

 

There are some awesome prizes up for grabs both for school and competitors, and the title of School Challenge Champions. So challenge your classmates or friends and enemies in other schools. Now is the time to show them who’s the boss.

 

 

If you need more info please e-mail: dherbst@intouchsports.net. Please note entries for the school challenge will only be accepted via online entries and not on the day

 

 

10km Jozi Night Rider

 

The 10km Route has been changed slightly with some great new features. The first 2km is jeep track before turing onto the now famous single track. We’ve added a new water point and riding through the Zonki shebeen is quite an experience.

 

 

The forest sections are even better and the team from Vrede Foundation will once again be waiting with Cold beers or Warm Coffee while to take a seat at the bonfires and take in the amazing view of the waterfall at the dam wall

 

 

20km Jozi Night Rider

 

This race is the Big Daddy of the night Series and something you will not forget. Don’t be fooled, it is not a walk in the park, but it is worth every drop of sweat.

 

 

Nowhere in Jozi will you be able to experience amazing single-track, long winding descents, jumps and burms, forests and spray from a 30meter wall of water, riding just meters away from Giraffe, Zebra, Wildebeest and other Buck.

 

 

There are four fun filled water points and a short trek through 50 year old ruins, ALL IN THE DARK with only the light of the African sky looking down on you. This race will leave you spellbound and stories to tell all night long.

 

 

The programme of events is:

 

Intiem Magazine Ladies Race: 10km - start time 4:30pm

 

Kiddies Race: 3km - start time 5:30pm

 

20km Jozi Night Rider - start time 6:00pm

 

10km Jozi Night Rider - start time 6:15pm

 

10 km schools challenge - start time 6:15pm (with the normal 10km)

 

 

Start/ Finish and Entertainment

 

The Boma will once again be the heart of the Jozi Night Rider. With 8 bonfires to keep you warm, a variety of food from the chefs at Heia safari, a bar and massage tents. There is also a secure monitored kiddie’s area and lots of music and entertainment to keep the party going.
