3Mountains 2015

Recommended Posts

2015

 

Dates for the 3Mountains Challenge in 2015 will be from 19th of March till the 22nd of March.

 

The timing is perfect as the 3Mountains race then serves as good groundwork for riders who

enter for other bigger races that follow shortly after that. Riders doing the “Sani2C” as well

as the “Joburg2C” will without doubt gain an advantage in terms of preparation and to

sharpen for the abovementioned multi stage races. It can also support the preparation of

cyclists taking part in the annual “Mzansi-Tour”.

 

Not all mountain bike enthusiasts are in the position to take part in the Cape Epic tour which

takes place simultaneously, so this is a good alternative.

 

3Mountains cater for all kinds of riders. The longer distances cater for the more

experienced riders and the shorter distances for the fun-rider and less experience riders.

 

Team Competitions:

 

Open teams

Mixed teams

Masters teams

Solo competition:

Solo men

Solo ladies

 

In the Short distance:

 

Men:

u/18 men

u/16 men

 

Ladies:

u/18 ladies

u/16 ladies

 

The short distance also accommodates all fun riders, such as participants who want to make

an attempt at stage racing but are not fit or experienced enough to tackle the long distance.

 

The Schools category provides the opportunity to all young riders under the age of 18 to

participate in one of the few stage races which offer a category for youth in the country.

 

This is an event for the whole family, with the emphasis on fun, beautiful scenery and a

variety of choices in terms of fitness and experience levels, without compromising on quality

at an affordable price.

 

In 2015 the Clocolan Annual Carnival will coincide with the 3Mountains Challenge and will

thus create a more festive atmosphere for the event.

 

Please see Attached flyers for more info.

Hi

 

2014 was the first time this race took place, we had a total of 70 riders taking part over the long and short distances.

 

Allot has changed since last year with loads of new sponsors coming on board.

Great new routes, a race village setup. the local Clocolan fair is now also on the same weekend.

 

Brand new riders shirts sponsored by Rockets and many more.

 

2015 is going to blow your mind.

do not miss out.

has anyone ridden this race?

some feedback would be welcome?

I can see this race grow over the coming years as this area is some of the most scenic in SA. Some good proper free state hospitality and what better way to spend a weekend away

The shorter route of 50km/day would also be ideal for the Grand Master category (this is in line with the CSA guidelines). Any chance that this category could be added to create a racing opportunity for the biltong and fossil brigade?
