Western Cape 1 day MTB events?

Recommended Posts

When I started riding in about 2015 there were a lot of local western cape one day MTB cross country events around. The trail seekers were mostly in Western Cape, and there were lots of other smaller 45 to 70km long XC style events ... I remember lining up in Philadelphia, Napier, stellies, ....

Most of these seem to have disappeared? Have they? My dance card is empty until transbaviaans....

The only other event on the Hub calendar is the Knysna mtb... No money for events and replacement drivetrains. Events pick up from Aug/Sep.

Add Vines & Views to your list.

 

However ... just too far for a day event ....

 

Same with Rooibos event, Round the Pot, Knysna, etc ...

 

 

The good old day events around Worcester is few and far between.
