[Jorrie]

Event Name: Theuniskraal MTB and Trail Run 2022, Tulbagh
When: 26/06/2022
Where: , Western Cape
Category: Mountain Bike

After the success of the Run Theuniskraal Trail Run for the past 6 year's we decided to ad to the excitement of the Winter in July weekend in the Tulbagh Valley by adding our 1st MTB to the weekend on Sunday the 26th. 

Riders can expect some of the best trails in the Tulbagh Valley that was also used for the Epic in 2021.

 Alongside our amazing sponsors we promise a value for money event not only catering for our riders with pristine trails and some newly build single track, but also looking after the needs of the whole family. As always our event ties up with the Christmas in Winter Wine Festival taking place over the weekend of 25-26 June in the Tulbagh valley, and our hosts, Theuniskraal (one of Tulbagh’s best-known wine farms and South Africa’s very first white-wine estate, has a history as interesting, and as old, as the town itself) can’t wait to share their hospitality & selection of fine wines with you.

 So come join us and become part of the Theuniskraal MTB history!

For those of you that haven't entered yet, weather predictions looks like we're slotting in nicely between the cold fronts with sunny weather predicted for the whole weekend of the Christmas in July festival.

Thanks, yes we're doing our best to keep adding new trails to the current network. All proceeds for this event will be put back into new trails.

The route maps show on my side but for some reason it don't want to show on this page. If you click on the "enter event" link you'll find the route maps on the entry ninja site. If you still can't find it PM me then I'll mail it to you.

Looking at that map it seems to include Fanties Pass? If that is correct then I'm gutted 😞to be missing out on this opportunity.

Hi Milky, for this year only the 30km trail run are going through Fanties pass. The 45km MTB are going up Jannies Pass on Remhoogte which is right next to Fanties. Fanties can get quite dangerous when wet so we were uncertain if we should include it or not. Might include it in the future weather permitting...

Nice King of the Mountain prize up for grabs, sponsored by Rijks Wine Estate & Hotel to the value of about R10 000!! Hope to see some racing snakes compete for this one up Jannies Pass on Remhoogte!

Forgot to mention from Theuniskraal's side we're giving a complimentary bottle of wine to each finishing rider as medal.

The weather forcast looks excellent, with sunny weather predicted from Friday for the whole weekend. A couple of us did the 45km route yesterday and the trails drained very well after Saturday's rain. Do not underestimate the 45km - it's a tough ride.

[Jorrie]

Camping can be arranged for free, PM me if interrested

[Jorrie]

Weather forcast still great for the weekend, hope to welcome some bikehub locals in my backyard! We've changed the start times to 8:30 (45km) and 9:00 (25km) to accomodate some riders from out of town.

Forgot to mention...some bike-addict online vouchers up for grabbs on the Fiery Forrest single track strava segment.
