Skubarra Posted March 13, 2014 Share Go do the MTN Tulbagh race on Saturday, a very nice challenge April - June is kind of quiet, mostly smaller local mtb races, quite a few worth doing. Next really "big" one is Knysna Cycle Tour early July (mtb and road) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannygirl Posted March 13, 2014 Share This is my first year of doing races and done the Argus MTB and Argus Cycle tour what is the next MTB race to train for in Western Cape that very popular? and as good as these Argus races? www.alltheevents.co.za lists MTB, road, running, tri etc. events - I find their list to be the most comprehensive and user-friendly (can search by type / month / region etc) with links to event details. @ Sywurm, event on 20th (Easter Sunday) at Solms Delta in Franschhoek.

Jewbacca Posted March 13, 2014 Share ndorfin.co.za There is a race/multiple races almost every weekend 52 weeks a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone_Ranger Posted March 13, 2014 Share There's also the Vinyard races at Lourensford which coincides with the end of the Epic. Think its the last weekend in March. Nice race, with a nice vibe at the end. www.vineyard-races.co.za CleatsnCleavage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicanZA Posted March 13, 2014 Share if the argus and 94.7 are the highlights of ur MTB year u need to start doing some real events! both those are oversubscribed and that makes them unpleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Sywurm Posted March 13, 2014 Share if the argus and 94.7 are the highlights of ur MTB year u need to start doing some real events! both those are oversubscribed and that makes them unpleasant. Some of the smaller and less know races are way more fun and much better to ride than the 'big' races. The one race I enjoyed last year was the 80km mtb race at the Oyster Festival in Knysna (and this is a big one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted March 13, 2014 Share Explore trails with mates - Welvanpas / Jonkershoek / Schapenberg / Oak Valley-Thandi / Tygerberg........................Should keep you busy until Burger seeding ride in December. Yup, that's what I decided too. We're planning our own 3-day mtb "tour" including the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
