Clarens EVENT SUMMARY
DONATING YOUR MEDAL GOES A LONG WAY At Qhubeka we believe that when we give bicycles to people who earned them, we are not just giving them a means of transportation but the gift of hope. This is one of reasons we chose the name “Qhubeka”, an Nguni (Zulu, Xhosa) word that means “to carry on”, “to progress” or “to move forward”. As World Bicycle Relief’s programme in South Africa, we believe in giving a hand-up not a hand-out. This is why we help people progress by giving bicycles in return for work done to improve communities, the environment or academic results.

MTN remains actively involved in amateur and professional cycling on a national level across mountain biking and road cycling. MTN is a responsible corporate citizen and in line with our vision for cycling to leave a lasting legacy, MTN formed a partnership with Qhubeka.

Attendance at school also sees a marked improvement. Your unselfish decision to exchange your medal for a donation to the MTN Qhubeka programme will assist us in achieving these objectives. Kindly take some time to visit www.qhubeka.org to find out more about this worthy CSI initiative.

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!

Clarens is a small town situated in the foothills of the Maluti Mountains in the Free State province of South Africa, nicknamed the “Jewel of the Eastern Free State”. It was established in 1912 and named after the town of Clarens in Switzerland where exiled Paul Kruger spent his last days. Clarens is an artists’ haven with many well-known artists, and many art galleries scattered around the village square and the town. The tranquil village ambience combined with scenic views and a mild climate makes Clarens a popular getaway for city dwellers. The race starts in the Town Square heading out along the spectacular sandstone mountains toward the exit of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project. The route then turns toward the Maluti mountains, one of the few places in our beautiful country where you can actually ride on the what’s commonly referred to as “slick rock”. It is one of the most picturesque spots in South Africa, offering unique views over the Golden Gate National Park and Lesotho.
Notice to all participants Although the organizers endeavour to remove dangerous rocks and cut as much of the long grass and overhanging bushes, trees, thorns and vegetation as possible before the event, weather conditions sometimes result in certain 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. NATIONALMTBSERIES.COM 10.

HISTORY & WINNERS
Photo Credit: Zoon Cronje NIKON
The Clarens leg of the MTN National MTB Series driven by Nissan is owned by ADVENDURANCE. The event was first started in 2004 with 250 mountain bikers who set out towards Lesotho and rode along the border on cattle tracks and duel tracks, which was quite extreme with portage sections. In 2009 it was taken over by ADVENDURANCE and adapted to be more friendly for various levels of riders. The Ultra distance was introduced with sections along the Golden Gate National Park with unique “slick rock” sections. The race and route was inspired by the unique “slick rock” riding in Utah, United States of America. With the help of Paul Pretorius and Rodney Wainwright who had good relations with land owners in the area, it was possible to create a route over many private and “never before” cycled areas around Clarens. With purposely hand built single track and spectacular views, the race grew tremendously to 1800 participants in 2013. The event supports local business and the local community

ROUTE & FEATURES Photo Credit: Zoon Cronje NIKON
NISSAN NATIONAL MTB SERIES Half-Marathon This route boasts breath-taking views over the surrounding farm lands with neatly planted peach and apple orchards before climbing up to the top of the Rooiberg Mountains that surround Clarens. Relatively fit intermediate skilled recreational riders will find the climbs and some of the rocky, rutted surfaces challenging. Where the surfaces and descents are dangerous it is recommended that riders be cautious. The route heads out past the aptly named “Titanic” sandstone rock face, which welcomes the visitors into town along the main road before turning off along the foot of the Rooiberg mountain range that surrounds Clarens. The route moves in a clock-wise direction along the old classic route that have made Clarens mountain-biking famous. The route becomes real testing around the 16km mark before riders ascend up along “The Caravan Climb” before being spoilt down flowing rock faces on “Never Ending Story”. “Race Snakes” will find challenging sections to test technical skills, while the sharp climbs and steep down hills will test both fitness and courage. MTN NATIONAL MTB SERIES Marathon For 2014 the route is anti-clock-wise starting off with a long fast section until the first water point, this is where al familiarity ends. After crossing the Ash River, riders will be faced with the first major climb called “Robs Backside” up to Queen of the Mountains. This climb is approximately 4km long and features slick rock with some hand built switch back sections. It’s a challenging and exciting route with a lot of variables in terrain, surfaces and some tranquil views of the town. The “Witkrans Rock Trail” has some surprises in store... The hardest part of the race is around the 56km mark as soon as you pass “The Nipple”. Each of the three mountains the await you have rewarding sections for you to discover. Once you conquer “The Titanic” you’ll descend along rewarding flowing rock contours on the “Porcupine Trail” back down towards town. The recreational riders will find this route very challenging and may find themselves portaging for short distances. Please don’t underestimate the marathon route, its real challenging mountainous terrain, we suggest you study the profile and water point locations. The “Ultra” will do a combination of the two distances. NATIONALMTBSERIES.COM 16.
