& WINNER S]
The Curro Hazeldean leg of the NISSAN TRAILSEEKER is owned by ADVENDURANCE. Although the NISSAN TRAILSEEKER started in 2009, it was previously known as the FPC (Fritz Pienaar Cycles) race which started in 2008. In that year we already drew 800 participants, which showed that people were looking for a race on their doorstep. The routes have been built over the past 6 years, many of the routes do not stay open year round and need to be cut open especially for the event. Many hours have been spent carving single track, building bridges, cutting grass and hacking through thick vegitation. Thanks to all the 30+ land owners that the route traverses, without your co-operation this event will not be possible. Special thanks to the old Boschkop mtb park and Rosemary hill that sections of the routes incorporates.

[ROUTE & FEATURES ] 09. TRAILSEEKERSERIES.CO.ZA
NISSAN TRAILSEEKER FUN RACE 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 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. The route for 2015 is basically the same as 2014 except in reverse, tweaking the best bits and smoothing out the rest for your enjoyment. New trails in Rosemary Hill have been added and a much later merging with the marathon that’s wide and easily passable has been added.

NISSAN TRAILSEEKER Marathon For 2015 the route is based largely on the 2014 route except in reverse. The route overlaps with the 40km on wide dual tracks and open roads until Rosemary hill where the routes split. We’ve gone to great lengths to find some climbs and what we have in store for you will blow you away. We continue with the purpose built single track, dual tracks will see you explore the far side of Pretoria. At 54km you will hit a brand new singletrack downhill that has been purposely built for the event dropping 100m in only 1.3km! From there you’ll have some sweet undulating singletrack and dual track till you join the gravel road again, taking you back down to the railway. At 69km you will merge with the half-marathon, from there you will be mostly on a combination of gravel roads, dual tracks to the finish.

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!
