SUMMARY:Trans Xhariep
DESCRIPTION:Are you brave enough to take on the Ultra (315km) or is the Lite (147km) more your style? \nThe Free State is wild\, unexplored and mostly used as a stop over for families traveling to their chosen destination.

Experience the Free State like never before. Have a look at the beautiful scenery the Xhariep region has on offer and enjoy the fabulous check points with local flavor everywhere you look. Stop and have a swim\, wave to a friendly farmer passing by and remember to take a selfie for good measure. \nTHE ULTRA (315km)\nThe route is non technical\, following mostly farm & district roads with a few sections of jeep track & tar roads into the different towns. 2574m accent. 5 x Check points on route. 4 x unmanned water points.\n\nTHE LITE (147km)\nThe route is non technical\, following mostly farm & district roads with a few sections of jeep track & tar roads into the different towns. 1172m accent. 2 x Check points on route. 2 x unmanned water points. \n#RideTheStates #ItsAllAboutTheJourney\n#RideTheStates

SUMMARY:Amarider 50 & 100 Miler
DESCRIPTION:Is riding 100 miles off road on your bucket list? \nIf so\, the eleventh edition of The Amarider 100Miler\, presented by The Bike Hub is the perfect race to get it done. Held in Malmesbury on the 13th of April\, this race is the ultimate Swartland meander offering dirt road riding around the Kasteelberg and surrounds. \nWhat makes this the perfect 100 Mile intro? \nIt’s accessible. With the start and finish in Malmesbury you don’t have to bother with transport and you can drive to the start in the morning. Shop around\, this race offers great value and your entry fee includes on-route breakfast and lunch points. \nApart from a large race support contingent\, your supporters can assist you at 4 easy to reach Spectator points on the day. This makes it perfect for your family and friends to be part of the day and allows you to break your effort into achievable segments. \nThe route consists predominantly of flowing and fast-rolling dirt road. With 2400m of climbing over the day\, it certainly is not flat but very few riders struggle to make cut-off. \nThe cause. Proceeds of the race goes towards Amarider’s advocacy efforts and over the past years have made projects like the recent opening of new trails on Table Mountain possible. \nThis individual one-day mountain bike ultra-marathon of 160km is affordable and a very special event. From the humbling beginnings that grew in 2009 to what is now one of the must-do-events on the mountain biking calendar.  The scenery is beautiful in the Swartland during Autumn and the riding is not technical. The weather conditions play a major role in testing your endurance\, as mud\, wind or rain do on most outdoor events. \nThis is a CSA Sanctioned event and CSA membership is required in order to start in the first starting group per distance. If you do not have CSA membership and would like to start in the first group please contact CSA and get your membership before entering. Please note all CSA and UCI rules apply. Read here! \nThis event will start early morning just as the sun is rising\, with astounding scenery that is spellbound to keep the legs going for many hours. Only pre-entries will be accepted for both distances. Entries are limited and remember that this is a seeding event for Stellenbosch MTB Challenge 2019. \nThe 160km (100Miler) route is divided into three sections of approximately 55km with two compulsory timing checkpoints. The format of the race creates perfect vantage points for spectators and support.  While the competition is based on solo riders completing the entire course these riders can form 4-man teams and enjoy a day out with mates on a saddle (of course)! The team results will be based on the 4th rider crossing the line thereby encouraging teamwork and camaraderie. \nThe shorter route option: \nThe shorter route option of the 50Miler (80km)\, starts at the halfway mark at Riebeeck Kasteel and ends with the 100Miler riders at the Malmesbury Showgrounds.  This event also provides an opportunity for keen riders to taste endurance riding along with twist and turns against the clock.

SUMMARY:Valley Xtreme MTB
DESCRIPTION:The Valley Xtreme MTB forms part of the Walkber Bay Xtreme festival which takes place in Hermanus. \nTHIS YEAR WE HAVE INTRODUCED AN ALL-NEW STAGE RACE MTB EVENT! Enter both Stage 1 and Stage 2 for just R700\, or choose to do a single distance on either day. \nThe trails here were originally purpose-built for the Cape Epic & Wines2Whales but have since been expanded for some seriously awesome and memorable riding through beautiful valleys and wine farms. \nThis family-friendly event caters for all levels of skill and fitness with riders being able to choose between 20km\, 35km or the 60km routes on offer. \nThrow together some tough climbing (especially on the 60km route)\, waterpoints designed to slow you down\, exhilarating vineyard trails through some of the most beautiful wine farms in the world\, technical terrain to sharpen the mind and some sweet single tracks snaking along the Onrus River\, and you are set to enjoy a MTB Challenge of Xtreme proportions while being rewarded with unbeatable views and a finish by the Old Harbour in Hermanus. \nThe trails are diverse and can be enjoyed by all levels of skill and fitness. However\, we advise you to only enter the 60km race if you are an experienced and skilled mountain biker and really keen to see where the beautiful Hemel & Aarde wines hail from.

This ride is suited for the fitter rider. \nThe 94km route is much like that of the 50km route as riders will be completing a double loop of the 50km. this is great for riders who enjoy a longer ride. \nWater points: Each rider will experience the unique “Trail Hunter” water point. Your hunger needs will be met by many tasty treats on the water point table. Stocked with many supplies and friendly faces\, these stops should not be missed. \nLate Entries & Number Collection: Late/Line Entries & Number Collection will take place on Saturday morning at the venue from 6am onwards (Cash\, Snapscan\, Zapper\, credit card).

The way it will work is that after each event\, you will receive a few pieces of the trophy … complete all eight events and you can assemble the little road bike on a stand. \nHowever\, even you haven’t done all the Sportive Series events\, or won’t manage to do all the events\, you’ll still be able to buy the missing pieces at a very reasonable cost at the Sportive #8.

SUMMARY:All Mountain Eduro - Uitkyk
DESCRIPTION:The second Enduro for the year is set for Uitkyk on some of our favourite trails and not to be missed.  \nStage information will be released at a later stage\, looking at 4 or 5 stages for the day. E bikes are welcome to join\, remember there needs to be more than 10 E bikes to qualify for podium. \nYou will pass the waterpoint multiple times stocked with water\, Powerade\, Coke\, jellies\, fruit\, Redbull. Return your number board to us afterwards and we will give you a free beer (or Powerade / Redbull). Something to eat afterwards will be available and that very important morning coffee will be ready on arrival. \nAt the Dirtopia Enduro\, you’ll still be climbing. We will make most of the jeeptracks and roads ‘neutral’ or ‘liaison’ sections with singletrack downhills the timed stages. The overall descent of the race will be more than the uphill. \nVenue: Uitkyk Wine Estate\, R44 Stellenbosch\nStart time: 09h00 at the venue & registration opens at 08h00\n\nEnduro Riding:\nHave you done an Enduro event?  Then you know what it is about!  If not\, then here is a summary: riders get timed only on certain sections\, which make a very social event\, especially at the refreshment station where they re-group. The atmosphere is relaxed with no rush anywhere\, except when you gun it between check points! \nTotal distance of riding not so relevant as riders ride to special stages in their own time and the timed stages are more like downhill racing\, although all type of riders can attempt it.  Protective gear recommended.  \nFour stages planned for this event. \nTiming: Have to own an Amarider Trail Tag. R100 or take a yearly Amarider membership of R225 and a Tag is included!  Watch out for the TAG POINTS at the beginning & end of each stage. \nTiming will be managed in real-time with @trailtag and riders will check in and out of the Special stages.\nThis means that riders will enter special stages 1 by 1\, so no bunfight to get trail position on the singletrack.
