[Event] Spur MTB Classic

[Dirtopia MTB Events]

The Spur mountain bike Classic provides family outdoor event at new venue.

The Spur Mountain Bike Classic is the oldest funride on the Western Cape MTB calendar and has always been a great family outdoor event.  Next Sunday, 28 September the event will start and finish at a new venue between Stellenbosch & Somerset West: the Post House Vineyards, which is a gem just off Winery Road and gives access to the Wannabees Club trails in the area. 

With three routes on offer: 15km, 30km & 45km plus kiddies rides of 500m, 1km & 3km, there is something for all ages & abilities!  Riders will get a chance to enjoy scenic routes amongst some famous Helderberg wine estates with their loved ones. New single track has been specifically built for the long route and will be opened and used on the Spur MTB Classic.

Riders can look forward to beautiful riding and views as the trails are all nestled on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountain which is a bit higher than Table Mountain, The tallest part of the mountain is referred to as the Dome, as from a distance it resembles the dome of a church.  The several short inclines will give the weekend-warrior’s legs a solid work-out.

 

Family & friends can relax, socialize and enjoy good food, stalls and even a massage while waiting for the prizegiving & lucky draw where great prizes are to be won!  Title sponsor, Spur Steak Ranches will also have their jumping castles, entertainment and great food at the finish. Refreshment stations on the routes, medals to all finishers and Coke at the finish as well.  

 

The first 150 kids (10 & under events) will receive a medal & goody bags from Spur!  The event is also a seeding event for Die Burger MTB Challenge 2015.

Late entries will be accepted for all distrances at registration on Friday, Saturday & Sunday morning. Please see www.dirtopia.co.za for the schedule and event information or contact theteam@dirtopia.co.za.
