SUMMARY:Fairtree Simonsberg Contour MTB
DESCRIPTION:With three successful years behind it’s back\, the Fairtree Simonsberg Contour 2 Day MTB Event has gone from the newbie on the calendar to a firm favourite and must-do event for all mountain bikers and outdoor enthusiasts. Originally created to continue the development of routes and to showcase the incredible network of single-track trails on the Simonsberg Mountain\, the region has become a hotspot for trail runners and mountain bikers alike through the continued support of Fairtree Capital. \nDirtopia has spent the last 5 years developing new routes on Delheim\, Muratie\, Warwick and Uitkyk wine estates. These trails are now operated in partnership with the landowners with the Greater Simonsberg Conservancy being the primary beneficiary. The conservancy represents more than 20 farms around the mountain and is currently focused on a multi-million-rand alien clearing project to return large tracts of the mountain to fynbos and renosterveld. \nThere is no better time to be out in the winelands as harvest season will be in full swing in surrounding vineyards. The MTB two-day event will take place on 2 & 3 Feb 2019 with a 60km and 40km route on offer for both Saturday and Sunday\, with the two day’s riding taking place on separate trails on the vast network. Do both days\, mix it up or do only one day – your choice! \nThe event will start and finish on Delvera Wine farm where riders and runners will be treated to breakfast the morning before the activities start and lunch once you’ve crossed the finish line. As always there will be a wonderful area to relax after their ride\, with showers\, a bike park\, bike wash & lube station and a massage service on offer. There will also be a kiddie’s entertainment area with the option for supporters to join for lunch by buying a food ticket. And yes\, great coffee and the best beers will be served on the day. \nEach participant will receive a goody bag and coffee\, breakfast snack and daily lunch buffet. Good refreshment stations will be fully stocked with cold drinks and a wide range of savoury snacks and fruit. \nThe Fairtree Contour events have been created to continue the development of routes and expose the incredible network of single-track trails on the Simonsberg Mountain. With over 30km of mountain singletrack\, connecting more than 10 wine estates\, the region is a hot spot for mountain bike trail riders. Parts of the route will also be used in the 2019 ABSA Cape Epic Stage 6. \nEarly bird entries have already opened. Enter before 31 December 2018 to qualify for the discounted fees that the exact same fees as 2018 with full cost fees coming into effect on 1 Jan 2019. Don’t forget to book your limited-edition event t-shirt with your entry to show your support for the Simonsberg Conserve and the Fairtree Simonsberg Contour Trail run. \nFor those who’d like to run out tight hamstrings\, there is a trail running event the following weekend.   \nEach participant of the two-day stage race will receive the following: \nGoody bag\nMorning coffee\, breakfast snack and daily lunch buffet\nMedal & BOS drink\nRefreshment stations on route stocked with snacks and energy drinks & water.\nBike Wash & Lube\nBike Park (overnight if wanted)\nLive Timing\nEnter here: https://www.dirtpass.co.za/events

SUMMARY:Momentum Health Attakwas Extreme
DESCRIPTION:It takes a special group of cyclists to sign up for South Africa’s “toughest extreme one-day mountain bike race”\, especially after the festive season. Yet year after year thousands line up for the Momentum Health Attakwas Extreme presented by Biogen\, which takes place in January. \nWith 12 editions to look back on\, race directors have identified a common thread that holds this riding community together – the undeniable ‘Attakwas spirit’. Each rider arrives with a different set of ambitions\, but the same goal of simply ‘surviving’ the challenge. \nThe event has built a strong reputation for its tough and unforgiving nature\, and for the 121km’s of relentless pounding that it presents to both man and machine. \nBeyond this\, however\, the Attakwas is renowned for its truly unique sense of camaraderie. It is a race where every rider knows that in the deepest\, darkest hours on their bike\, there will always be a helping hand from a fellow rider or friendly crew member. \n“At its core\, the Attakwas Extreme was designed for seemingly ordinary people who undertake an extraordinary challenge\,” said Dryland Director Henco Rademayer. \nNo one epitomized the spirit of this event more than Attakwas finisher and fellow mountain biker\, Douw Steyn. Late in 2014\, an accident claimed the life of this extraordinary man who left behind a legacy of all the traits that this event stands for – friendship\, loyalty and perseverance. \nDryland Event Management dedicated the “Spirit of the Attakwas” to Douw’s memory – a trophy created by his closest friends that is presented annually to the rider who reveals the same qualities. \nRACE INFO: \nDistance: 121km\nRace Entry: R995 (Standard fee valid until 31 October 2018)\nLate Entry fee: R1250 (R1260 valid from 1 November 2018)\nNo line entries will be available for this distance\, but the late entr

SUMMARY:The Munga
DESCRIPTION:The Munga is not your average bicycle event. It’s a crazy\, single stage mountain bike race across some of the toughest terrain south of the equator. A 1000 kilometre rush from Bloemfontein to Wellington in the middle of the South African summer. \nThe Munga was created in 2014 by adventurer Alex Harris. The dream was always to create a race with a huge reward\, and this it still the ultimate goal. The first Munga took place in December 2015 and was a massive success. \nSince the inaugural race\, the Munga has grown from strength to strength. New sponsors have joined the team\, new riders have completed (and not completed) the mad journey. \nThe Basics \nThe Munga runs over a little more than 1000 kilometres. There are 5 race villages where riders can rest\, eat and get mechanical assistance. There are also a number of water points placed between 50 and 60 kilometres apart. The race is semi-supported meaning that riders will be provided with support from race officials and at race villages\, but will not be permitted to have support along the route. Everything a rider needs must be taken along\, or bought along the way. Everything needed must be carried on the bike. No post_id and/or template

SUMMARY:Buco Grahamstown To Sea (G2C)
DESCRIPTION:The first few kilometers of the Grahamstown to Sea include a climb up Mountain Drive from Grahamstown industrial area. There is a rocky single track down from the Toposcope which can be a bit hair raising for some. The decent down the valley on the Southwell road is steep but it is tarred. It is important to keep left and keep a slow pace in the blind corners. The rest of the route is on country road. It is mostly a lazy downhill but does include a couple of uphills. A short single track section takes the bikes off the country road and into the back of Rosehill Mall\, Port Alfred. A total of 58 km.No post_id and/or template
