The 99er MTB Challenge takes place in the picturesque Durbanville Winelands. Due to growing numbers, the event is now taking place on a separate day to the popular 99er Cycle Tour. The 2016 99er MTB Challenge forms part of the USN MTB Calendar.

 

The 99er MTB Challenge has 3 routes this year, 45km, 25km and 12km. The routes are challenging and provide a fantastic ride through many of the beautiful wine farms in the Durbanville area.

Anyone have more info on the trails used. I would like to do it but again I'm still pretty new to this mountain biking thing.

 

How does the 25km compare to the Argus Mtb 30km?

R290 for 45km? kidding right?

[dust monkey]

The trails is normally part of Contermanskloof, Meerendal and I think probably Bloemendaaler, part of Hillcrest ect .

hahaha I've decided I will Not pay ridiculous amounts like this to ride on trails I already have a membership for. What Will make me even more miff should I do it, is if you pay this amount & they take you on a similar route to the Ashburton Meerendal route i.e. %1 of TMTBC Trails the rest is farm gravel roads.

...half a year(membership) for half a trail.....(in one day) = ridiculous

Totally Agree.

2 other races on the same day...we have options it will be a hard sell to get me to enter at that price to get me to cycle my back yard trails.

I'm still in two minds about this, having done the Durbie Dash last year this seems to cover some of those trails. Might still do it just for the heck of it

at this price its no brainer that most of the guys will be doing the fine breede.

Will be joining despite entry fee - with the cost of travelling to an event being so high, an event on the doorstep is very inviting. This is also one of the few events which is a fund raiser for a local school and their organising is always excellent.

Cool a mtb race!

Sho, hectic fees down here compared to KZN races. I just relocated and we'll probably end up doing it as breede is a bit of a drive. 1st race in WP better be good. Enjoy lads.
