SUMMARY:Tiletoria Trans Elands MTB Marathon
DESCRIPTION:2019 will be the 5th year running of the Trans Elands MTB Marathon “SA’s TOUGHEST 100 miler MTB marathon”.  With our title sponsor Tiletoria having come onboard in 2017\, we have rebranded to Tiletoria Trans Elands. \nThe race was founded by Lex Holmes\, who sadly passed away on 31 December 2016.  The great turnout of riders for the 2017 & 2018 events is evidence of firstly the influence that Lex has had over many years in mountain biking circles throughout the Eastern Cape and secondly the dedication and commitment of the new organising team to continue with and grow Lex’s legacy. \nThe 160km “Extreme” MTB marathon with 3000m of elevation gain is one of South Africa’s and certainly the Eastern Cape’s toughest one-day mountain biking events. The event is a true test of a rider’s physical and mental capability\, but with adequate preparation it is an achievable challenge. To finish this “bucket list” event within the 12-hour time limit leaves one with a sense of reward and satisfaction which can only be described by a rider who has achieved this feat.  The Tiletoria Trans Elands 160km is the ideal tester for regular MTB marathon riders\, perhaps the reason why so many riders have been returning year after year to tackle this event. The 160km event caters for both solo entries and team entries (of two riders per team). \nThe 60km “Lite” MTB marathon race distance with 1000m of climbing was added in 2017 with great success\, and acts as a stepping stone for those who in future years would like to tackle the 160km. The 5-hour time limit allows for riders of varying capability to take part in and complete this 60km event.  Riders of the 60km event have adequate time to stop at the well stocked waterpoints and to take in the breath-taking scenery of the Gamtoos River Valley and Kleinrivier area. The 60km event caters for solo entries only. \nThe 30km “Mini” MTB marathon with less than 500m of elevation gain\, gives the whole family the opportunity to explore the beauty of the the Gamtoos River Valley farmlands by MTB. The 30km event caters for solo entries only.

SUMMARY:Yzerfontein Cycle Experience
DESCRIPTION:It’s Back! The Yzerfontein Cycle Experience\, voted as the best new event on Pedal Power Africa’s calendar for 2016 returns to our backyard for the 4th year in Yzerfontein on Sunday\,  9 June 2019. Don’t miss the opportunity to ride in this truly wonderful event. \nAs with the past years\, the cycle event will be complimented by an array of local stalls and entertainers\, bringing a festival – like atmosphere to the town of Yzerfontein. \nFeedback from the race over the past years\, was incredibly positive\, with the competitors enjoying the flat\, fast\, non-technical route. The veteran cyclists enjoyed the fast 78km training ride\, and the less experienced\, and more relaxed bunch took advantage of the 52km route\, both routes being unique in that they are not open to the public\, and run through the beautiful West Coast National Park. \nROUTE DESCRIPTION \nStarting from the main beach parking area in Yzerfontein\, the competitors will wind their way out of the town\, onto the R315\, and will turn off onto the Blombosch road which will take them into the West Coast National Park. The Park Manager\, Pierre Nel\, has generously approved a route which takes the cyclists on private jeep tracks through the splendid nature which the West Coast has to offer. On the return route there is a mixture of tar and jeep track which leads back to the finish line at the main beach\, where competitors will receive a medal\, a Coca Cola\, and a goodie bag from Premier. \nNOTES AND OTHER INFORMATION \nRe-committing their support again is Premier FMCG’s brand Blue Ribbon. Gauteng Based Premier FMCG (Pty) Limited was founded over 195 years ago\, and its operation and  distribution facilities run throughout South Africa\, Lesotho\, Swaziland and Mozambique. Premier FMCG also operate a home and personal care business in the United Kingdom. Today Premier markets iconic South African brands such as Snowflake\, Blue Ribbon\, BB Bakeries\, Star\, Mister Bread\, Impala\, Iwisa\, Super Sun\, Nyala\, Invicta\, Manhattan and Super C\, Lil-Lets\, Vulco and Dove Cotton Wool. \nPremier FMCG adds “We are honoured to support such a remarkable initiative. This is not just any race\, we are uplifting the Yzerfontein community\, and proceeds will benefit the International Police Forum\, The Jenna Lowe Trust and The Reach for a Dream Foundation. All three beneficiaries will be available on the day to talk to interested parties about the organisations and the work they do. Our value is growing our people\, customers and brands therefore our partnership with the Yzerfontein Cycle Experience supports our ethos of Growing Together. \nPierre Nel\, the West Coast National Park Manager has opened his arms to all participants with the following statement “West Coast National Park extends a warm welcome to all participants in the Blue Ribbon Yzerfontein Cycle Experience Race. We are honoured that the organizers of this event have selected the West Coast National Park as part of this race”. \nThe park is popular among cyclists and currently the Lagoon Challenge Cycle Race\, which will be hosted in November\, is the only other cycle event in the park. This Blue Ribbon event thus adds a new dimension to cycling in the park as it offers riders an alternative route from that of the Lagoon Challenge. We are proud to be associated with Blue Ribbon Yzerfontein Cycle Experience in the organising and hosting of this event.  I encourage entrants to enjoy the race and the splendour which West Coast National Park has to offer.” \nThis year the event also offers a 5 km and 10 km fun run. Entrants will get the opportunity to run along the Yzerfontein coastline. There will be medals for all finishers. Come along\, and walk or run the distances and join in the fun. \nREGISTRATION DETAILS \nOnline entries close on Thursday 6 June 2019. \nLate entries and pre-registration: Saturday 8 June at the Yzerfontein Community Hall\, 16h00 – 20h00 \nOn the day registration and late entries: Sunday 9 June at the Yzerfontein Community Hall from 05h30.

SUMMARY:Steeple CX Cup Race Series #2
DESCRIPTION:Whether it’s a CX\, gravel or MTB bike you own\, the Steeple CX Cup cyclocross series is short course off-road racing at its best. Races last no longer than 30 mins for the social riders and 45 minutes for the racing class. But don’t think it’s easy… it’s fast\, furious and a whole lotta adrenaline-fuelled fun. \nWhat is cyclocross all about? \nSteeple	CX Cup is all about bringing the rich hertitage	of cyclocross to you with an African twist. Cyclocross has	its roots in northern France and Belgium where road riders would race across frozen fields and roads to	keep fit during winter. They often raced	between	towns with only	the church steeple as their guide. Rules were few\, and so	obstacles came into the	mix as riders took the	shortest route to the steeple. \nToday cyclocross or CX is raced all over the world on courses made up of mixed terrains	with obstacles.	Courses	are	2.5 to 3.5km long and races are	timed\, with times being	based on the course difficulty on the day. \nThis exciting form of racing offers a unique format with undulating courses which test bike skills and deliver fitness	gains like nothing else. All this while	having	fun\, racing your mates and challenging for better seeding	and overall series points. \nCyclocross bikes are the most effective	weapons of choice\, but CX does not discriminate	and so all geared bikes	are	allowed.

SUMMARY:Katberg Quest
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Katberg Quest coincides with school holidays and a long weekend (16 June – Youth Day) so its the perfect family getaway with some competitive racing in the mix! \nThe backdrop for the Katberg Quest is the picturesque Winterberg mountains and the Kat River Valley\,  just outside Fort Beaufort. \nThe area is steeped in history with many of the Cape Frontier Wars / Xhosa Wars taking place in the Kat River Valley throughout the 1800’s. \nWaterfalls\, towering mountain peaks and stunning vistas await riders as they take on the quest to conquer the Kat River Valley. \nThe stages for the Quest Full are between 50km & 60km each with a fair amount of climbing and moderate singletrack. \nThe Quest Lite offers stages of 20km each. The Lite routes exclude the majority of the singletrack and also cut out a lot of the climbing\, making it a reasonably easy ride. This option is ideal for the novice rider or competitive youngsters. \nEbikes are welcome and will have a separate racing category.

SUMMARY:Knysna Cycle Tour MTB
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: The MTB Races are for mountain bikes only. The 30 km race has an e-bike category. \nSEEDING EVENTS: The 80 km and 50 km races are seeding events for the 2020 Cape Town Cycle Tour! \nOur MTB Events consist of two premier races – the 80 km race for elite riders and the ‘half marathon’ 50 km event for experienced MTB cyclists – and the two family events – the 30 km and 15 km rides for adults and children aged 9-16 years. This year\, three events have been reinvigorated with changed courses and new challenges!  The premier events will have more kms in forest areas and more single track. The 80\, 50 and 30 km races will descend via Eastford to the Oakhill School cycle track\, thus avoiding the Simola Hill descent. \nThis year the 30 km event will follow a slightly more family-friendly\, easier route with less climbing. \nThe route for the 15 km race\, which was introduced in 2017\, will remain the same. \nBoth the 30 km and 15 km races will be priced for families\, with only one adult in the group paying full price and additional family members paying just 50% of the entry fee.

SUMMARY:The Midlands MTB Stage Race
DESCRIPTION:What started out as a dream is now a reality. We would like to tell you a little bit about The Midlands MTB Stage Race. \nWhat we aim to achieve is to have mountain bikers of all levels enjoying our event. There will be something for everyone\, but most importantly the Midlands MTB Stage Race will be an event that is accessible to all. If you are a weekend warrior or a person with an extremely busy life\, committed to family or work or both and don’t have the time to train all day every day and want to experience and enjoy a stage race\, then this is the one for you. \nWe need to add that those of you who are mountain biking machines\, will love doing this race too\, as you will have the afternoons to chill and chat with your friends and maybe family if you are a husband/wife or parent/child team. There will be time to have a few beers or a cold wine\, comfortable in the knowledge that a fun (but challenging) ride awaits you the next day. \nNow in its second year you will be riding a mix of existing trails as well as trails created for this event ONLY! The routes will be through Sappi commercial plantations\, Ezemvelo Nature Reserve\, jeep track\, single track and along public gravel. Iconic points of interest have been purposefully included to expose you to the beauty and history of the Midlands area. \nThe routes have been created to make this event fast for those aiming for a podium finish but also easily manageable for the rider who is entering to experience their first stage race event. The emphasis is on fun for all. \nIn accordance with Cycling South Africa (CSA) rules we have made provision for junior age category riders to partake.

SUMMARY:Steeple CX Cup Race Series #3
DESCRIPTION:Whether it’s a CX\, gravel or MTB bike you own\, the Steeple CX Cup cyclocross series is short course off-road racing at its best. Races last no longer than 30 mins for the social riders and 45 minutes for the racing class. But don’t think it’s easy… it’s fast\, furious and a whole lotta adrenaline-fuelled fun. \nWhat is cyclocross all about? \nSteeple	CX Cup is all about bringing the rich hertitage	of cyclocross to you with an African twist. Cyclocross has	its roots in northern France and Belgium where road riders would race across frozen fields and roads to	keep fit during winter. They often raced	between	towns with only	the church steeple as their guide. Rules were few\, and so	obstacles came into the	mix as riders took the	shortest route to the steeple. \nToday cyclocross or CX is raced all over the world on courses made up of mixed terrains	with obstacles.	Courses	are	2.5 to 3.5km long and races are	timed\, with times being	based on the course difficulty on the day. \nThis exciting form of racing offers a unique format with undulating courses which test bike skills and deliver fitness	gains like nothing else. All this while	having	fun\, racing your mates and challenging for better seeding	and overall series points. \nCyclocross bikes are the most effective	weapons of choice\, but CX does not discriminate	and so all geared bikes	are	allowed.

SUMMARY:Wildevy MTB Race
DESCRIPTION:Established in 2013 as part of the Wildevy 4×4 Family day\, the Wildevy MTB is fast becoming one of the most popular MTB races in South Africa. The Burgersfort climate makes it perfect for having a race in the middle of winter without having to break out the Thermal Woolies (we have winter on a wednesday) and with big names in the MTB fraternaty joining each year\, there must be something to it. \nPro or Newbie will tell you that the Wildevy MTB race has one of the longest undulating single tracks\, easy to ride and breathtaking scenery. \nThe Wildevy 4×4 MTB race is growing exponentially and with the race calender opening up in the Mpumalanga/Limpopo area\, this race will be the race to attend this winter. With over 300 riders since 2013\, we are working very hard to make the every race even bigger and better. We have a new and improved 50km route that promises to be kick ass and again some of the best singletrack on this side of the Amazon! \nPre-entries closes Wed 24 Jul 2019 at 17:00 \nFrom 25 Jul 2019 a late entry penalty of R50 will apply [proceeds to charity]

SUMMARY:Steeple CX Cup Race Series #5
DESCRIPTION:Whether it’s a CX\, gravel or MTB bike you own\, the Steeple CX Cup cyclocross series is short course off-road racing at its best. Races last no longer than 30 mins for the social riders and 45 minutes for the racing class. But don’t think it’s easy… it’s fast\, furious and a whole lotta adrenaline-fuelled fun. \nWhat is cyclocross all about? \nSteeple	CX Cup is all about bringing the rich hertitage	of cyclocross to you with an African twist. Cyclocross has	its roots in northern France and Belgium where road riders would race across frozen fields and roads to	keep fit during winter. They often raced	between	towns with only	the church steeple as their guide. Rules were few\, and so	obstacles came into the	mix as riders took the	shortest route to the steeple. \nToday cyclocross or CX is raced all over the world on courses made up of mixed terrains	with obstacles.	Courses	are	2.5 to 3.5km long and races are	timed\, with times being	based on the course difficulty on the day. \nThis exciting form of racing offers a unique format with undulating courses which test bike skills and deliver fitness	gains like nothing else. All this while	having	fun\, racing your mates and challenging for better seeding	and overall series points. \nCyclocross bikes are the most effective	weapons of choice\, but CX does not discriminate	and so all geared bikes	are	allowed.
