We look forward to sharing our small-town hospitality with you, while you enjoy some of the best trails on offer.
PLEASE NOTE NO E-BIKES ALLOWED.
No E-go… Indeed, after some deliberation a final call was made NOT to allow E-bikes at the Piket-Bo-Berg Cycle Challenge. The reasons are simple – due to the technical nature of the trails and the large amount of singletrack (which run through very remote mountainous areas) we would like to avoid congestion as far as possible – our trails don’t always allow for passing. Taking into account the speeds of E-bikes, rider safety is another big concern on our technical sections. We trust you understand. However, do stay tuned to our social channels and join our mailing list to be notified of possible future e-bike events.
CLOSING DATE:
