NOVEMBER

WESTERN CAPE 12-15 36ONE MTB Challenge 13-15 To Hell and Back - CS Lewis said that “the road to hell is the gradual one – the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.” In this case, the road to the Hell is a rocky dirt road with steep slopes, sharp switchbacks, ups and downs, dropping a hair raising 3000 feet down into a valley. This race proudly is the first MTB stage race in South Africa. The views while riding on these historic roads are extraordinary, jaw-dropping and nail-biting all in one. It is known as the longest mountain pass in South Africa. 13-15 Ride the Cape 20-22 De Hoop Vlei MTB Experience
