SUMMARY:STBB4GOOD MTB Challenge & Twilight Run
DESCRIPTION:On 11 and 12 October 2019\, STBB4GOOD will host its 9th annual STBB4GOOD MTB Challenge (powered by Amdec) and 3rd STBB4GOOD Twilight Run. SAVE THE DATES so long; entries opening on Racetec on 11 July 2019. \nBoth sporting events’ beneficiary is Miles for Smiles\, which raises funds for Operation Smile to facilitate corrective surgery for children born with cleft lips and palates and who would otherwise be unable to afford this life-changing surgery which enables them to swallow\, speak and smile normally. Over the past two years\, R900 000 has been donated by STBB4GOOD to this cause\, which allowed for 162 corrective surgeries performed on children in South Africa subsequently. \nBoth events start and finish on the picturesque Overgaauw Wine Estate in Stellenbosch and the routes\, created on the unique Bottelary Renosterveld Conservancy\, traverse no less than 22 wine farms. \nThe event has built a reputation as a “must do” on the Western Cape mountain biking and trail running calendars due to its mix of expertly organised sporting event and fun family day out\, including a food market\, wine tasting\, craft beer stalls and kids entertainment.

DESCRIPTION:The Cape Classic will be based in Montagu\, in the Western Cape on the famous Route 62\, each day starting at the Montagu Country Hotel\, 27 Bath Street. \nDay 1 The Koo Valley – out and back\n8 November 2019 7:00 am Start at The Montagu Country Hotel\nRiders will assemble at the start venue and ride up the majestic Koo valley where the formidable Burgers and Rooihoogte passes await. In between the two climbs will be a light hearted time trial of 7.5kms for those who wish to compete for the sponsor’s prizes and also to beat the sponsor’s own average speed record of 52.9 kmph set in 2018. The Stage will be 100km long and involve a total climb of 1500m. We will ride as a peloton but given the nature of the climbs and descents some splintering of the groups will be inevitable. \nA little known but beautiful valley\, little used but with good road surfaces provides two challenging climbs on the way out and a lightning fast descent on the way back to our lunch stop at Oupa Batt se Winkel. After lunch a 39km cruise back to Montagu \nDay 2 The Tradouws\n9 November 2019 7:00 am Start at The Montagu Country Hotel\nWe head out of Montagu again through the Cogmans Kloof pass and turn left before Ashton towards Swellendam At 35km we join the final part of the Coronation Double Century route passing over Bakoondhoogte pass and those rolling roads. Negotiating Swellendam with the assistance of Swellendam Provincial Traffic department will see us on the N2 before turning for Suurbraak and the stunning Tradouw Pass. After turning left onto the R62 a further 12 km will see us at our lunch stop at Joubert-Tradauw wine farm. Straight after lunch comes the climb of Op de Tradouw and its fast descent towards Montagu. The longest stage at 160km and 1870m of climbing will be challenging but rewarding. \nDay 3 A Cruise around the Breede River\n10 November 2019 7:00 am Start at The Montagu Country Hotel\nThe ride will be through the picturesque Breede River valley in a loop from Montagu out towards Robertson and returning via the outskirts of Bonnievale. The stage will be 105km and involve a less daunting 830m of climbing. The ride will be in a peloton with a designated Points Jersey section prior to our waterpoint stop at Bonnievale Cellars. We’ll cross the Breede River twice\, once via a trestle bridge and once over a drift bridge. Given the river valleys we will be going through the riding is mostly through lush rolling terrain\, although we do have a climb over Remhoogte on our return towards Ashton. Finishing in Montagu at the Kloof Padstall for a champagne reception\, lunch and prize giving. \nCape Classic – Early Bird Entry R3\,900 \nRetained at 2018 prices until 31 May 2019.  First 25 entries only – first come first served.  Includes: Saturday night braai and daily picnic lunches. \nCape Classic Entry R4\,300 \nIncludes: Saturday night braai and daily picnic lunches. \nBike Care Package R400 \nFrom Rikus Le Grange of Melkbos Cycles.  Wash\, lube\, tyre pressures\, brake and gear check and adjustment as necessary.

SUMMARY:Langebaan Country Estate Cycle Challenge
DESCRIPTION:ROUTE DESCRIPTION \nThe event venue is on the driving range of the Langebaan Country Estate which is situated in the picturesque village of Langebaan. As the route winds through the West Coast National Park\, it takes you through some of the most beautiful scenery on the West Coast. The route closely hugs the shoreline of South Africa’s only saltwater lagoon as you pass through Strandveld vegetation before making your way across the peninsula that divides the Atlantic Ocean and the Langebaan Lagoon. Take time to appreciate the azure blue waters of this fantastic coastline as you pedal past landmarks such as Preekstoel\, Kraalbaai\, Geelbek and Schrywershoek. Be on the lookout for the many animals that roam the West Coast National Park\, as this in itself makes it a very special ride. The rolling hills have interesting names such as Skunk Hill\, Fanie se Kop and Seeberg and make for a challenging\, yet enjoyable day out. The ride finishes at the top of Stumpnose Rock (affectionately known as Mamba Hill) with a breath-taking view of the lagoon as the backdrop. \nDIRECTION TO VENUE \nFrom Cape Town\, take the R27 (West Coast road) past Melkbosstrand. Continue north on the R27 for some 90 km to the Langebaan turn-off at the One Stop Garage. Continue towards Langebaan and you will find the entrance to the Langebaan Country Estate on your left. Follow the signs to the registration venue. \nClick here to enter online
