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!

SUMMARY:Husqvarna Classic Mid-Illovo MTB Challenge & Trail Run [STATUS TBC]
DESCRIPTION:We wish to announce that in light of the current situation regarding Covid19\, we are working on alternative plans with ROAG regarding the Husqvarna Classic. The health and safety of our staff and our participants is of the utmost importance. Keep up the training and we’ll keep you posted with all developments in this regard. \n\nThe Husqvarna Classic Mid-Illovo MTB Challenge & Trail Run has entrenched itself as a firm favourite on the mountain biking and trail running calendar with this year’s event scheduled to take place on Sunday\, 19 April 2020. The MTB route boasts what some riders have called “the best single track of any single day event”\, traversing a picturesque game reserve – the Gwahumbe Game & Spa. \nWe have been working hard to make some awesome revamps to the existing routes. Over the years\, the 40km MTB Trail had become 46km and some of the return climbs were tough for the riders.  You’ll be glad to know that we got rid of some of the smaller ascents on the return route and have reduced the distance. We have kept most of the single track\, so it will certainly be a more enjoyable ride. The trail runs will have new routes starting at Gwahumbe and dropping down into the valley which should make for some fun\, fast running in spectacular scenery. \nThis year\, E-bikes are welcome to participate in the Husqvarna Classic. E-Bike riders will be required to start in the last batch of each event and will not be timed\, but are welcome to come and enjoy this annual event.

Our nine-day\, 900km ride was to have taken place this April\, running into May (24 April – 2 May 2020). \nOur organising team is committed to doing what is best and fair for all involved in the 2020 event and are currently working on a solution. \n\njoberg2c is a 900km\, 9 day\, 110% mountain bike adventure across four provinces of South Africa.

For some it is a race for most it is ride. \nIf you are fit enough to enjoy joberg2c\, it could just be one of the best ways to experience a large part of South Africa and the incredible hospitality of local communities.

SUMMARY:aQuellé Tour Durban (Road & MTB) [POSTPONED]
DESCRIPTION:The organisers of the aQuellé Tour Durban cycle race have taken the decision to postpone the 2020 edition of the Durban classic to a date later in the year\, following the national government state of disaster announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa last night in response to the coronavirus pandemic. \n“We are working with the relevant role players in a bid to locating a suitable weekend in spring that can host the two days of events as planned. We will do all in our power to ensure that the event\, which clearly has a very large following\, can go ahead\, and at the same time to retain the benefit to The Domino Foundation that is the beneficiary of the race. \n\nThe road races will take place on the 26th April 2020\, once again coinciding with the Freedom Day long weekend\, and will include a new 115km elite classic\, and a new 90km race to go with the popular 45km ride on the M4 on full road closure. \nThe cyclocross event has been replaced with two new MTB races to be held on Saturday 25 April\, starting and finishing at the Cornubia Mall. \nAnother new addition to the programme on Saturday 25 April is a race for the athletes from districts each training centre run by the KwaZulu-Natal Cycling Development programme. \nSaturday will also see a new junior race and a kids trike race at Cornubia Mall for the younger riders keen to get in on the action of the weekend of cycling events. \nThe revised program is aimed at offering an expanded choice of rides for cyclists that have supported this popular event in the past. \nNew event director Alec Lenferna says the 115km route is aimed at providing a challenge for the elite men’s field that always supports the Durban classic as well as the fitter cyclists. \nHe added that the route\, designed in close conjunction with the city’s traffic management team\, would take riders into a new section of the city. \n“It is essentially a reverse of the old 100km route\,” he said. “From the race headquarters at Moses Mabhida Stadium it heads north up the M4 past Mdloti and turning at the Watson Highway circle before heading back towards Durban. \n“Then we turn onto Riverside Road and then along North Coast Road and onto Queen Nandi Drive and cross the Mgeni River on the new Super Highway into Pinetown before descending on the M7 and returning to the finish on the South Coast freeway\,” he explained. \nThe new 90km race would create a new option for riders who had comfortably finished the 45km race in the past and are looking for a new challenge. Both the 45km and 90km races will use the popular M4 lap from Moses Mabhida to Mdloti and back. This is also the route that will accommodate the various racing women’s groups. \nThe race remains steadfastly geared towards raising money for the Domino Foundation\, that runs a variety of programmes aimed at supporting\, uplifting and empowering the Amaoti community north of the city. \n“That is what makes this race special\,” said Lenferna. “It is a chance for Durbanites to join cyclists from around the country to enjoy riding the roads under full road closure\, on a long weekend\, and in the reliably good Autumn weather\, the whole time knowing that they are making a massive difference to the lives of the people supported by the Domino Foundation.” \nTo enter the road races\, click here:\nhttp://www.cycleevents.co.za/road-events/aquelle-tour-durban-2020/ \nTo enter the MTB races\, click here:\nhttp://www.cycleevents.co.za/mtb-events/aquelle-tour-durban-mtb-challenge-2020/

SUMMARY:Swartberg100 ​Gravel Fondo [POSTPONED]
DESCRIPTION:To read the full statement about the postponement\, click here \n\nThe Swartberg100 Gran Fondo starts and ends in Prince Albert\, arguably one of the most attractive Karoo towns in South Africa\, it covers 170 km of which there are 3 gravel sectors covering 79 km. The final climb is over the gravel Swartberg Pass\, a relentless climb of 28 km\, the last 9.8 km being on gravel with gradients of 16% in places. \nThe Swartberg100\, in true South African tradition\, will be one of the toughest Gran Fondo’s in the world. We have created a course that goes back to the days of old when mountain passes were all gravel and brave cyclists climbed them on single speed bikes weighing in at 16 kg. A course that allows us to pit our modern training knowledge and technology against an old foe\, a road surface that isn’t always friendly.​ \nChoose your weapon carefully for this race\, too much rubber could slow you down\, too little could make the gravel sectors a lot tougher. Watch those gears\, not enough top end and you’ll spin out on the flats\, not enough bottom end and you’ll be walking up those 16% inclines. – Bike choice is key… \nThe Gran Fondo\n– 170 kilometres\, 3000 metres of ascent\, 79 kilometres of gravel in 3 Sectors.\n​- The last 2 km to the Swartberg summit is at an average gradient of 12%\n– The summit is at the 150km mark\, from there it’s a nail-biting 20km descent into Prince Albert\n– The start gun goes at 7am (Sunrise)\n– Cut off at the end is at 5pm\n– If you don’t make water-point 3 by 2:10 pm the sweep bus will take you home.\n​- Finishing this race is an achievement. \nThe Medio Fondo\nExact Measurements:\n– ​53.75km and 389 metres of ascent.\n​- A flat fast route an average rider will easily complete in 2.5 hours. \nThe Staffetta\nStaffetta is Italian for “relay race”\, we thought we would keep to the Italian theme\, after all it was the Italians who came up with the idea of a Gran Fondo\, a fun race\, a great challenge for all riders\, professional to amateur to enjoy together\, back in 1970 in the small town of Cesenatico\, home of Marco Pantani.\n\nThe e-Fondo\nSwartberg Pass provides a great challenge for e-bike riders\, spectacular climbing over 65km on a morning outing on your e-bike. You can race it\, but you will need to conserve battery power and plan your tactics well. Or … you can just ride it and enjoy the scenery in a safe environment with medics\, marshalls and water points to help you on your way. \n65km and 1900m of climbing
