Notice for all participants - Although the organizers endeavour to remove dangerous rocks, cut as much of the long grass and overhanging bushes, trees, thorns and vegetation as possible, weather conditions sometimes result in unforeseen obstacles on the route. It is the rider’s responsibility to avoid these hazards by riding carefully where required. Please remember to ride with your phone.

HISTORY & 7. TRAILSEEKERSERIES.CO.ZA

The Hakahana leg of the NISSAN TRAILSEEKER is owned by ADVENDURANCE. Although the NISSAN TRAILSEEKER started in 2009, the Hakahana leg was only introduced in 2012, in that year we already drew over 1500 participants, adding another awesome venue close to riders doorstep.

The routes have been built over the past 4 years, some of the routes do not stay open year round and need to be cut open. Many hours have been spent carving single track, building bridges, cutting grass and hacking through thick vegetation.

Thanks to all the 36+ land owners that the route traverses, without your co-operation this event will not be possible. Special thanks to Johan Vorster for use of his land and the MTB routes which he has built on the surrounding farms.

ROUTE & 11. TRAILSEEKERSERIES.CO.ZA

NISSAN TRAILSEEKER FUN RACE A fast and flat start will give you a chance to warm up before you enter the first single track and river crossing. District roads and jeep track will then lead you back towards the finish, however the fun is not over yet and a beautiful piece of shaded single track next to the canal will help the kilometres tick by. The fun race is aimed at the inexperienced mountain biker who seldom rides much off road and does not have a great deal of fitness. The route will have mostly duel tracks and gravel roads and is considered easy, once you can complete the FUN RACE in 1h30min or less you can move up to the Half-Marathon distance.

NISSAN TRAILSEEKER Half-Marathon A fast and flat start will give you a chance to warm up before you hit the “Frank’s T” at 14km. You will enjoy a 360 degree view of the surrounding Magalisberg and Hartebeespoort Dam before making your way back down. Once back in the valley, you will be treated to some of Hakahana’s finest hand-carved single tracks before passing through the Orient. Keep an eye out for wild-life as the Orient is well stocked with a variety of South African plains game. Make sure that you still have enough energy to enjoy the final 5kms of mind blowing single track. Relatively fit, intermediate skilled, recreational riders will find the short climbs and some of the rocky surfaces challenging. Where the surfaces and descents are dangerous it is recommended that riders be cautious. Please remember to keep left and be cautious to faster riders who may want to pass. Words like “keep left”, “on your right” or “track” are often used. If you have difficulty with a section and resort to walking, please keep out of the way of upcoming cyclists.

NISSAN TRAILSEEKER Marathon A fast and flat start will give you a chance to warm up before you hit the “Franks T” climb at 14km. From here you will decend again down “Mzili’s Ghost” before starting “The Wagon Trail” climb which leads you onto the “Rinkhals” single track and to the highest point of the route at 1480m. From the “Rinkhals”, you will be rewarded with a fast and rocky technical descent through “Tosca’s Freepass” and “Bains Brain” before climbing again to the saddle and over the ridge into “Gomez”. A short sharp descent will lead you onto the Northern side of the ridge where 18km of fast mostly flat farm roads and dual track await. The short sharp descent into Gomez should not be forgotten too soon as you will find yourself climbing back up and over the same ridge before cruising through the Orient and into Gerotek. After exiting Gerotek, the last 3km are pure exhilaration and enjoyment as you cruise home on hand-built single tracks to a medal and cold USN Spike.

If you demand 100% from your beer, choose

*based on Bavaria 0.0% Regular Malt

Bavaria 0.0% is brewed naturally, but with a unique, patented process creating no alcohol at all from the get go. It’s a genuine 0.0% alcohol malt drink and a flavour taste sensation!

The claim ‘non-alcoholic’ or ‘alcohol free’ is often a misnomer. How can any beer with up to 0.5% alcohol content claim to be non-alcoholic? Most ‘alcohol-free’ beers are brewed as normal alcoholic beers, with the alcohol extracted at the last stage. Is it possible to remove all of the alcohol? No ways! These beers can have up to 0.5% alcohol by volume remaining when they reach the shelf. But by law it’s still ‘alcohol-free’? Who’s kidding who? ‘Alcohol-free’ should mean zero alcohol, nothing, nada, zip! Zero alcohol for Bavaria means Halaal too!

Looking to reduce your waistline? Bavaria 0.0% uses only the purest mineral water, barley malt, wheat, and hops and has only 25Kcal, 6g carbohydrates (of which sugar 3.1g), 0.2g protein, and 0g fat per 100ml. It’s good for the figure and your confidence gets a kick! Bavaria 0.0% also has isotonic values and contains 68% less sugar and 41% less calories than the average soft drink or fruit juice. WOW!* We’ve sacrificed none of the flavour to bring you Bavaria 0.0% – you’ll love its malty, smooth, refreshing taste! And if you like your alcohol-free experience with a twist, Bavaria 0.0% is available in the following natural flavour taste sensations: Regular Malt, Raspberry, Lemon, Apple, Peach, Pomegranate and Pineapple. Enjoy!
