SUMMARY:Cape Town Cycle Tour
DESCRIPTION:It is now one of the world’s leading cycle events\, but when Bill Mylrea\, John Stegmann and Louis de Waal first proposed the Argus Tour\, it was meant to be a protest ride to ‘encourage’ the city council to think about bicycles as part of its urban planning\, and look after cyclists on the (by 1978 standards) busy roads. As such\, the event failed spectacularly for decades\, but what a wonderful deviation from those goals it has become. The irony is that cycling has become so big in South Africa\, thanks to the Cape Town Cycle Tour\, that those dreamy objectives are now being realised across the city in the form of bike lanes\, and cycle safety projects within and beyond the city limits.

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:Joburg Classic
DESCRIPTION:The Joburg Classic constitutes a brand-new signature mass participation road cycling race for Gauteng and takes place on 29 March 2020. \nProceeds from the event go to the Hectic Promotions charities as well as CANSA . \nThe venue for the event is the impressive GOG Lifestyle Park just off Malibongwe Drive in Lanseria and the route offers distances over 95km\, 45km and 20km. \nThe venue is perfectly central for riders from both Joburg and Pretoria. It sits on the corner of the first intersection towards Honeydew from the Malibongwe off-ramp off the N14 Krugersdorp Freeway. \nHectic Promotions boasts a proven record of accomplishment in presenting mass participation cycling events which fulfil the requirements of our sponsors and stakeholders. \nWe are recognised by Cycling South Africa and the cycling public as one of South Africa’s foremost cycling event organisation companies and we boast a history of presenting prestigious events on the national cycling calendar. \nWe will work tirelessly to implement the successful blueprint of the Tshwane Classic on its counterpart to create a safe cycling environment and consequently vest the Joburg Classic as a signature mass participation event on the South African sporting landscape. \nThe race will be bolstered in various ways with our logistical experience and it will attract the country’s top professionals. Through our extensive marketing campaign\, we hope that the event will attract a significant participation base and grow to in excess of 12 000 riders within three years. \nTHE VENUE \nThe event venue at the GOG Lifestyle Park in Lanseria presents ample parking\, ablutions and catering facilities to accommodate a mass participation cycling event. \nALL RIDERS AND THEIR FAMILIES RECEIVE FREE ENTRANCE INTO THE PARK FOR THE DAY! \nGOG Lifestyle Park boasts a wide array of activities which will keep families entertained throughout the day. For more info on the venue go to https://gog.co.za/lifestyle-parks/ \nTHE DATE \nThe date of 29 March 2020 falls within a delightful sunny time of the year two weeks following the Cape Town Cycle Tour. This ensures that Gauteng based riders who take part in the Cape Town Cycle Tour can also take part in the Joburg Classic. \nDISTANCES TO CATER FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY \nThe allure of the Joburg Classic is locked into the wonderful road conditions on a beautiful route\, a brilliant family orientated venue as well as the venue’s vicinity to the major cycling catchment area represented by both Johannesburg and Pretoria. \nThe race presents a feature 95km distance while 45km and 20km distances are also presented to make the event as inclusive as possible. We also have a kids’ event for pre-school and primary school children to complete the picture. \nWONDERFUL SUPPORT FROM JOBURG METRO POLICE AS WELL AS MOGALE CITY \nWith all local government structures in Tshwane supporting the establishment of the Tshwane Classic and Diamond Classic\, we have a keen understanding of how the extent of city servives’ support directly impact on the remarkable success of these events. \nSimilar support from the Johannesburg Metro and Mogale City to create a safe cycling environment will enable the success of the race. \nWe look forward to establishing this wonderful bike race\, which will add immense value to the Joburg Metro and its residents \nROUTE DESCRIPTION – A SPECTACULAR ROUTE!\n \nThe Joburg Classic signature 95km distance offers a well-balanced route with 1100 metres of vertical ascent. It’s challenging and interesting throughout and the climb back to Malibongwe on the Elandsdrift Road presents the major obstacle before the finish. \nThe route has been designed to offer two shorter distances as well over 45km and 20km and the starting times for these distances have been worked out nicely so that the short distance riders join after the fast groups in the 95km at the joining points. \nRiders will be familiar with some sections of the 95km route\, which also form part of the Berge en Dale race\, but the Joburg Classic doesn’t include the Hillsnacks or Sterkfontein climbs and it cuts out the dangerous Brandvlei Road. \nThe route goes into the Cradle via Malibongwe and a left turn onto Elandsdrift Road. It turns left into Beyers Naude and almost immediately right into the R374 which runs past the prestigious Avianto Lodge. \nAt the Rhino and Lion Park Traffic Circle the route takes the first exit and then turns right at the Kromdraai cash store. It links up with the Hekpoort road and does a clockwise loop past Maropeng\, returning via the Magaliesberg Road. \nRiders get back onto the Hekpoort Road\, but just briefly before linking up with Hendrik Potgieter extension (N14) at the Engen garage and then a left turn at Letamo Estate to meet up with the in-bound route at the Kromdraai Cash store. \nIt then uses the same route on which the race started in the morning to get back to the venue\, but in the opposite direction. \nThe 20km route starts on Malibongwe Drive and turns left towards the Cradle after the Lanseria Airport turn-off\, and left again at the traffic circle before the Cradle Restaurant to join the 95km route on the way back at Valverde. \nThe 45km route follows the same routing as the 20km ride\, but turns back at the Rhino and Lion Park Circle where it joins the 95km route on the way back. \nClick here to enter

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!
