SUMMARY:Attakwas Extreme
DESCRIPTION:South Africa’s toughest extreme one-day mountain bike race. \nFor the very brave we have the Momentum Health Attakwas Extreme MTB Challenge presented by Biogen\, 121km with a 2900m vertical ascent and for the not-so-faint hearted we have the Attakwas Half\, 52km with a 1100m vertical ascent. \n#SurviveAttakwas\nAn adventure through the desert and mountains of the Klein Karoo with a finish at the Garden Route Coast \nSouth Africa’s premier one-day mountain bike race will stage its 14th edition in 2020 – thirteen years since that inaugural event in 2007\, with a start list then\, shorter than the current crew list. Dryland took this task to hand with no idea where this would take them. South Africans and their appetite for tough endurance events projected the Attakwas into legendary and cult-like status over the next couple of years. This is the race to do if you want to test mind\, body and machine!

SUMMARY:The MTB Challenge\, formerly known as the Cape Town Cycle Tour
DESCRIPTION:Off-road racing at its very best\, the MTB Challenge hits the Cape Winelands on Saturday\, 29 February 2020\, and offers 15km\, 30km and 60km options for all fitness and skill levels. The event has been running alongside the Cape Town Cycle Tour for what will be 20 years in 2020 formerly known as the Cycle Tour MTB Challenge. In September 2019 the event was handed over to Pedal Power Association to organise. We have taken the decision to take the event back to its roots where is all began and return to the beautiful routes of Banhoek Conservancy where it was last held in 2013. The venue is will be Old Bethlehem Farm that is situated in Kylemore\, Stellenbosch. \nThe fun ride is aimed at all ages\, shapes\, sizes\, fitness levels and income groups. The event is open to PPA members as well as non-members. The event targets both existing cyclists and newcomers to the sport\, the average participant and newcomer\, as well as the elite sportswoman and sportsman. \nIn addition to the three routes on offer we will be bringing in the Bike4All mobile BMX track for the little ones to enjoy. Bike4All has a simple\, yet effective motto: PUTTING MORE PEOPLE ONTO BICYCLES. Many people think of bicycles in terms of sport or recreation; as a means to participate in road or off-road fun rides\, or simply to get fit and healthy. But the bicycle is the ideal vehicle for transportation\, especially for short trips to school\, shop or work. Through this project\, we aim to change mobility in South Africa. Their portfolio includes yet not restricted to; Bicycle and BMX distribution\, road safety and awareness\, helmet handout\, visibility\, bike mechanic training and community support. \nStart times and age restrictions: \n15km – start time from 08h20. Age: 8 years and older \n30km – start time from 07h50. Age: 15 years and older \n60km – start time from 07h00. Age: 15 years and older \n* Ensure you are ready at least 30 minutes before your start to get into the chutes.\n* The start groups. Note you will only get your start group after entries have closed

This way everybody gets to have a good time on their Mountain bikes. The event boasts an amazing relaxed country village atmosphere\, spectacularly scenic riding through fynbos and farmlands\, and is hosted by the well-known and sought after Stanford Valley Guest farm.

SUMMARY:Absa Cape Epic [CANCELLED]
DESCRIPTION:The 17th edition of the Absa Cape Epic will take place from 15 to 22 March 2020 and will be as challenging as ever. Local and international mountain bikers will tackle the demanding eight-day race through South Africa’s Western Cape.  \nThe Absa Cape Epic must be completed by both members of a two-person team with only 650 teams allowed to ride the race. The route changes every year\, leading aspiring amateur and professional mountain bikers from around the world through roughly 700 untamed kilometres of unspoilt scenery and up 16 000m of vertical ascent. \nThe Absa Cape Epic is the most televised mountain bike race in the world and the only eight-day mountain bike stage race classed as hors catégorie by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI); this official UCI status makes it a highlight on the professional racer’s calendar. The Absa Cape Epic also attracts aspiring amateur riders wanting to test themselves against the best. It is a full-service race\, meaning that everything is taken care of from the start – all riders need to think about is riding.

SUMMARY:Fine Breede MTB [CANCELLED]
DESCRIPTION:It is with great disappointment that we have to cancel our event\, but we fully support the measurements taken in combating the COVID 19 crisis. Entry Ninja will be in contact and all paid pre-entries will be refunded in full. Lets stay safe and see each other in 2021! \n\nIt is time for 15th Fine Breede MTB. This event caters for the whole family and we strive to make the day as fun as possible; offering Food Stalls & Potjiekos with Music and a Cash Bar. \nWinners of the 60km MTB can win their weight in wine\, and the route\, often used by the Cape Epic\, takes participants over rugged mountains\, through green vineyards and crossing rivers. \nThe 30km MTB is known as the toughest on the PPA calendar in its category\, so novice riders should rather stick to the 18km. \nA 5km fun ride is available for young\, enthusiastic and future riders.\n\nStarting times and cost:  \n60km | 07:30 R 230 \n30km | 08:00 R 200 \n18km | 08:30 R 150 \n5km | 09:00 R 60 \nThe FINE Breede MTB’s main goal is to raise funds for our local Primary School. Breërivier Primary School has approximately 60 learners between Grade 1 and Grade 7. As most schools they are dependent on fundraising to continue the very high standard of teaching offered to learners\, and the Fine Breede MTB is one of only 2 major fundraising events they have. Teachers and parents make up 95% of the work force at the event\, responsible for layout and marking of route\, registration\, marshalling\, manning the food stalls and water points. We rely greatly on the support of our sponsors and entries. Thanks to your continuous support\, we are able to host such a high quality event and raise funds at the same time.

SUMMARY:East Rand Classic MTB Race [CANCELLED]
DESCRIPTION:The East Rand Classic MTB Race kicks off at 08h00 on Saturday and consists of a 25km track which riders complete either once or twice. Click here to view the Route Profile & Map \nRiders will once again get to experience the excitement of riding in the shadow of the aircraft on the grounds of OR Tambo International Airport. \nIt’s urban mountain biking at its best and it’s so close and easily accessible for riders from all over Gauteng. \nThere is just one technical drop-off on the 25km track where riders have the option to either take the dive or use the chicken run on the side. \nThe track is essentially made up of three sections. The first bit is through a forest\, then round the dam and suburbs\, and finally a seven-kilometre flat section right next to the runway – all interlinked by pavement rides. \nThe tree section is absolute bliss. It consists of 6km of winding forest with more than enough room to overtake and slightly downhill – so it’s nice and fast!
