[SGW]

Event Name: ER2EC Charity Tour - Elephant Ride
When: 9 December 2016 - 14 December 2016
Where: Amersfoort, Mpumulanga

This year, we've decided to shake up the traditional road route and embark on a truly unique & memorable MTB adventure.

The route is undulating and there will be ample back up and support. The scenery is simply breath-taking as we traverse private farms and reserves. The route whilst challenging in some parts, is very 'rideable' for those worried about technical terrain.

 

This is not a race but a charity tour, limited to 24 local riders and 24 International riders

 

Each rider will need to raise a donation of R2500,00 towards these charities:

 

- Care 4 Wild Rhino sanctuary

- Sables Creatures animal welfare

- St Luke's Home for the mentally & physically challenged

- FORA: friends of rescued animals

- Thembalami Care Centre
