The VW Tavcor Commercial Hayterdale Classic, proudly supported by Talisman Hire, Thule, Cyclo Pro and Powerade, will see it's second instalment taking place on Sunday 27 August 2017

Hayterdale Trails, situated just outside Addo near Port Elizabeth, is a mountain bikers paradise, having hosted prestigious events like the PwC Great Zuurberg Trek, SA National Cross Country and Downhill champs as well as parts of the Herald Continental Cycle Tour MTB routes. Riders who have had the privilege of riding any of these events will appreciate the quality and diversity of the ever-improving trails that Hayterdale has to offer.

 

The Hayterdale Classic offers something for everyone with race distances of 12km, 35km & 65km.

The 12km route is aimed at novice riders and traverses easy, flowing tracks in the flat lands.

The two longer routes offer a little bit more excitement for the more experienced / fit mountain bikers.

 

12km Ramble (R120 per rider)

This entry level race is ideal for newcomers to the sport. With only 200m of climbing and a mix of 25% gravel road, 30% jeeptrack and 45% gentle singletrack, its ideal for all ages.

 

35km Challenge (R170 per rider)

Don't be fooled by the relatively short distance, this race is geared for the adventurous mountain biker who enjoys a bit of a challenge.

Featuring 800m of climbing and a composition of 10% gravel road, 45% jeeptrack and 45% singletrack this is a race for those who enjoy having fun on their mountain bikes.

 

65km Classic (R220 per rider)

The feature race of the Hayterdale Classic is geared towards serious mountain bikers.

The route has changed somewhat since last year and is now not as physically demanding. It's still a challenge though, including over 1300m climbing with 35% gravel road, 30% jeeptrack and 35% singletrack. Riders will experience some magnificent riding.
