Eselfontein Posted September 15, 2021 Share Our entries are now open and we are ready to do this year’s Festival. 8-10 October 2021 Here is our online entries link: https://www.entryninja.com/events/76712-eselfontein-mtb-stage-race This year, 2021, we will be limited on Vendors and tents and staff and riders. Our only event for this year’s festival will be the 3-day stage race and also limited to 300 riders. We will need as much support this year, like any other year. So please if you have the space, time or resources, please email me and let me know - we would really appreciate it. The Eselfontein Festival remains a Charity Event and especially after the year we had, we need to support out local charities as much as we can.

Eselfontein Posted September 15, 2021 Share 2021 will be a bit different than the previous years……..and off course all of this due to covid and all regulations that comes with it: Day 1 & 3 will be shortened, we are unable to use the tracks on neighbours farm and Cape Nature grounds. Our Event will be a “Fun Ride” and rolling Event – no tracks records, prize money or prize giving - ONLY Lucky Draws. We are only allowing 300 riders and will ONLY have the 3 Day Event. Medics will be here ONLY during the course of the Event. There will be the famous Waterpoints We are still providing free camping grounds and have also brought in the Glamping tents – remember to book – details below It is still a charity event.

The 55km This will be the ride of your life with a single track combination that will blow your mind and give you an all-over body workout from counter balancing your bike. The route is a combination of our trails that are open throughout the year that will include two famous climbs, “Death Drop” and “Dead Man Walking”. The last 25km will have no big climbs. DISTANCE:55km ELEVATION GAIN:1400m SINGLE TRACK: 30km WATER POINTS: 3, Self-help at 10km, 23km and 36km ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
