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.

DESCRIPTION:Each distance of the Modderfontein MTB offer a challenge as per fitness level.  \nThe shorter distances (the 12km and the 32km) being for the beginner rider or those who want an easier ride. The trails offer the chance for riders to test their abilities on numerous single tracks twisting through the forest and savannah grasslands. This is the perfect ride for the entire family to enjoy.

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).

Each one is also a standalone event\, so you don’t have to enter all in the Sportive Series. \nFollowing this event\, there will be four events remaining\, spread throughout the year: \nPPA Sportive #5: 2 June\, Perdeberg winery (109km/39km)\nPPA Sportive #6: 29 Sept\, Simonsvlei wine estate (97km/38km)\nPPA Sportive #7: 13 Oct\, Perdeberg winery (109km/39km)\nPPA Sportive #8: 1 Dec\, Simonsvlei wine (97km/38km) \nTHE SPECIAL FINISHER’S TROPHY \nThis year\, we have decided to do away with medals and do something more innovative and challenging – you’ll will get a beautiful 3D bicycle puzzle that you can assemble once you have have completed all the events. 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. We still want everyone to have that trophy to display at their home or office.

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.

SUMMARY:The Bell of Hope Cycle Challenge for Mental Wellness
DESCRIPTION:The Bell of Hope Cycle Challenge for Mental Wellness was put together to raise funds to sustain Ebenezer Psychiatric Home\, a non-profit organization. \nEbenezer Psychiatric Home is a non-profit organization that takes care of functional mentally ill adults who have been diagnosed with and who suffer from Bipolar or Schizophrenia. \nOur home relies on monthly bed subsidies paid by the Department of Health. Unfortunately these are irregular and this leaves the home in a very precarious financial position. \nAlternative ways to raise funds for the home’s survival became vital and so the annual Bell of Hope Cycle Challenge for Mental Wellness was put together. This cycle challenge is in honour of National Bipolar Day (26 May). \nThe secondary purpose of this event is to create awareness and make an effort to remove the stigma attached to mental illness. \nThe history behind the “Bell of Hope” begins in the 16th Century. The treatment of the mentally ill was horrific to say the least and leaves one aghast at the tireless vicious psychological and physical beatings they received. \nIn the 16th Century the mentally ill were victims of witch hunts and were bound in iron chains and shackles. By the end of the 17th Century\, mentally ill patients were seen as an organic physical phenomenon\, no longer involving the soul or morale of the patient. They were viewed as insensitive wild animals resulting in the use of restraints in chains\, as this was seen as being therapeutic and supposed to suppress animal passions.  \nThe realization of the inhumane and animalistic treatment only emerged in the 1950’s in the USA\, when they issued a call to all mental institutions across the USA to melt down their shackles and chains that bound the mentally ill for more than a century and recast them into a BELL – the bell is a symbol of hope. \nClick here to enter

SUMMARY:Steeple CX Cup Race Series #1
DESCRIPTION:It’s winter time and the second\, expanded 7-event season of the Steeple CX Cup cyclocross series kicks off this Sunday. Whether it’s a CX\, gravel or MTB bike you own\, this 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:Tshwane Diamond Road Classic
DESCRIPTION:The Tshwane Diamond Classic\, presented by Hectic Promotions (a non-profit organisation)\, is a brand-new National Classic road race for Gauteng! \nHectic Promotions annually present the Bestmed Cycle4CANSA and the Tshwane Classic\, in association with Jacaranda FM. Since its incorporation into the Tshwane Metro\, Cullinan represents the perfect location for a mass participation road cycling event with delightfully quiet roads with good road surfaces\, and it’s situated only 30km from the centre of Pretoria. \nThe event starts and finishes at the impressive Baviaanspoort Correctional Facility. The date falls within a wonderful climate time on the Highveld when Fall temperatures are mild and the chances of rain slim\, ensuring that the race optimises the potential participant base. \nThe race will boast a prize fund of R20 000. \nThe road race presents a feature 110km distance while a 50km fun ride distance also forms part of the weekend to make the event as inclusive as possible. \nWe also have a kids’ event and a fun walk inside the correctional facility terrain to complete the picture. \nThe traction of the Tshwane Diamond Classic is locked into the delightful and quiet Sunday morning road conditions around Cullinan as well as the Tshwane Metro’s support and the town’s vicinity to the major cycling catchment area represented by Johannesburg and Pretoria. \nRoute Description: \nSince its incorporation into the Tshwane Metro\, vast sections of the roads in and around Cullinan have been consistently resurfaced. Years ago\, the town hosted many recognised road rides\, but as road surfaces deteriorated it became less and less suited to hosting road races. \nThis has changed over the past two years and our route designer\, David Labuschagne\, has put together a delightful route which is safe\, challenging\, and which ticks all the boxes to make effective route control possible. Labuschagne heads up Pretoria’s largest cycling club\, The Bestmed Bicycle Company\, and his club has committed to coming out in full force on race day. \nThe 110km route presents 1030metres of elevation gain and is mildly undulating\, except for a sharp climb on the outskirts of Cullinan at the Petra Diamond Mine up to the 18km mark\, which is set to stretch the bunches early on. \nThe route starts on Zambezi Drive (R513) towards Cullinan from the Baviaanspoort Correctional and runs from Cullinan towards Rayton and Bronkhorstspruit. \nFrom Bronkhortspruit it loops back to Cullinan anti-clockwise to ensure predominantly left turns and then does a final loop around Cullinan before joining up with Zambezi Drive again to finish in the opposite direction to the start. \nThe 50km route presents 561metres of vertical ascent and cuts out the long-distance loop towards Bronkhorstspruit and back. \nThe split/join point for the two distances is in Cullinan. \nActivities at the Venue: \nA kids’ race (3-4 year-olds and 5-7 year-olds) and 5km fun walk for the entire family is presented in conjunction with the road race at Baviaanspoort. Participants can enter on the morning at the Rugby Stadium Race Office for a R10 donation towards the upkeep of the facility. \nThe kids race and 5km fun walk will start at 08h00. \nIt is a stated aim of the event to incorporate the entire family\, and the kids’ races are always very popular at our events. It is the highlight for many families. Kids take part\, and everyone is a winner with every child receiving a medal and goody bag. \nAmple drinks and eats will be on sale at the venue – the catering is done masterfully by Correctional Services – while ample ablutions and parking are available at the facility’s rugby stadium. Clubs can also erect gazebos on the rugby field from early morning. \nBaviaanspoort Correctional boasts beautifully shaded braai facilities surrounding the dam and riders can bring their “dop en tjop” along to braai on the banks of the dam – entrance to the dam is a donation of R20 towards the upkeep of the facility.
