The FNB 1Zambia MTB is well on its way to being recognised as one of the most spectacular and wild mountain bike stage races in Africa. Riders will be navigating over more than 230km of scenic terrain while passing through rolling hills, ancient brachystegia forests and crystal clear streams for a magnificent finish on the mighty Zambezi River. The route is brimming with unexplored routes in the African bush with a chance to appreciate nature in absolute solitude. Add it all together and riders can look forward to a unique experience in the African mountain bike scene. Date:

  • Registration – Thursday, 04th June, 2015
  • Stage 1 – Friday, 05th June, 2015
  • Stage 2 – Saturday, 06th June, 2015
  • Stage 3 – Sunday, 07th June 2015
     

Location:

  • Lilayi Lodge Lusaka & Kiambi and Kanyemba Lodges, Lower Zambezi, Zambia
     

Format:

Teams of 2 take on a 3 day mountain bike stage race following hilly village footpaths and remote escarpment jeep tracks via GPS through rural tribal bushland for a truly African finish on the banks of the Zambezi River. We are targeting all mountain bike enthusiasts with a taste for fresh adventure and the unknown!

in reading through the entries, it seems expensive with having top arrange own transport to the venue and include plane flights and a basic entry fee of $780 without accommodation. Or is this a decent price for this kinda of event ?

 

The 3 day rift valley ride is $1000 including transfers and accommodation.
