Event Name: STBB4GOOD MTB CHALLENGE
When: 12 October 2019
Where: Overgaauw Wine Estate, Western Cape
Category: MTB

The STBB4GOOD MTB Challenge and Family Day will be taking place on Saturday 12 October 2019 at Overgaauw Wine Estate in Stellenbosch over the Bottelary Hills MTB Trails and Conservancy. The aim of this event is to raise funds for the Miles for Smiles Foundation.

 

The MTB race has become known as one of the “must-do” events on the MTB calendar. Our routes are enjoyable, challenging and well marked, our marshals are on the ball, we have the top class water tables in the industry, and we are told that ours is one of the best organised MTB races in South Africa. Unbelievable prizes from our generous sponsors, and loads of prizes to be won.

 

After the race, chill out in Bedouin tents, eat, relax and take in the view. Enjoy the food market, artisan beers and wine tasting, plus a jumping castle and arts and crafts for the kids.

 

Distances: 60km | 45km | 30km | 12km | 5km

I'm also keen to know more about the routes (45 specifically). All the pics I see appear to be jeep track or rolling meadows :-)

I did the long route last year which was very similar to the 45, with just some extra bits here and there.  

 

It was a PROPER fun day out there, yes there was lots of traffic down the single tracks but it was just an amazing experience.  

 

The race / ride starts with a proper slog up the hill which just keeps on climbing to separate the groups. Till the next single track at the top.

Also want to know the answer to this one

Please do not trust the long route map they have. It has been wrong since the very start and every year I supply them with the correct one only to be ignored. 

 

Here is the correct long route and profile for it.
