Events Bot Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Event Name: Cape Town Cycle Tour MTB ChallengeWhen: 3 March 2018Where: Uitspan Farm off the R44 (33° 53.032’S, 18° 52.361’E), Western CapeCategory: MTBIt all begins with some mountain bike racing; Saturday, 3 March sees the Cape Town Cycle Tour Lifecycle Week kick off in a cloud of dust. In sixteen years, the Cape Town Cycle Tour MTB Challenge has become the most desirable one-day event on the South African calendar. And for good reason. With 20km, 40km and 60km routes from Meurant Botha, the legendary Stellenbosch course designer, and the 40-year organisational experience of the Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust, it offers top mountain biking for newbies and world champions alike, as well as the opportunity to earn kudos (and a special medal) for backing up the 60km ride here with the Cycle Tour the following weekend. The three route options, which offer easy, intermediate and technical trail conditions as they get longer, and are a perfect introduction to the rough stuff for all. Entries are limited, so don’t dither. 60km – 1350m ascent – starts at 07h0040km – 960m ascent – starts at 07h5020km – 430m ascent – starts at 08h30Go to Event Page CasualAthlete 1
LeoKnight Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Everyone excited about the race, seems it will be a hot day out there, and just make sure you are aware the race is on the Saturday and not like last year the Sunday
dannygirl Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Still a tiny bit miffed that they've condensed it into one day - used to be lekker to ride very socially on the Saturday and then do a longer route on the Sunday... LeoKnight 1
