Beat the clock and enter this year\u2019s Ride2Nowhere, which will be a special one as the popular event celebrates its 10th birthday in McGregor, Western Cape, from September 11 to 12.<\/p>\n

Organisers R2N Events promise a festive feel combined with great camaraderie and urge all to enter by August 15.<\/p>\n

Participants will be able to take advantage of the amazing trails, stunning views, tranquillity, and hospitality that this small town offers.<\/p>\n

Riders will also explore a remote region of the area by getting access to routes and trails one would not on any other day.<\/p>\n

The riding is typical \u201cKaroo\u201d \u2013 more rugged and technical than many of the other more groomed trails out there.<\/p>\n

Andrew Norman has been part of the event as a rider for seven years, and says his first experience was simply \u201cwow\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe uniqueness of a multistage event being hosted in a Hamlet village like this just makes it so special.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook forward to great trails, single track, views, flowers, and wildlife.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll see I haven\u2019t mentioned the climbs \u2013 if a tortoise goes past you, it\u2019s not an issue because this is a ride, not a race, and the village will be there when you get back,\u201d said Norman.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s edition has changed from a three- to a two-day ride, but riders will still have the opportunity to ride in the \u201cDie Galg Road2Nowhere Gravel Challenge\u201d.<\/p>\n

This challenge is to the top of \u201cDie Galg Mountain\u201d which is the end of the road to nowhere, 21km from town (42km total for the out and back ride).<\/p>\n

Participants can start anytime between 12pm and 2pm on September 10, departing from the McGregor Dutch Reformed Church Grounds.<\/p>\n

Once entered, riders will be invited to a Strava club to upload their result and a winner will be selected (entry fee is R150).<\/p>\n

As the flagship event of the weekend, the Ride2Nowhere offers a long route known as the McClassic (around 70km per day) and a short route known as the McLite (around 50km per day).<\/p>\n

The long route is a good challenge for racing snakes, but still doable for weekend warriors. It offers big views and rewards all around.<\/p>\n

The short route is still proper, and remains a good challenge, but is just not that far.<\/p>\n

McGregor Young Warriors founder and Ride2Nowhere regular Max Menzies is keen to form part of the celebrations this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cRide2Nowhere is a super chilled family event and has survived 10 years, which is quite an achievement as our industry is changing a lot now.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is something for the trail runners as well, with the Run2Nowhere offering routes that have had runners come back year after year.<\/p>\n

The trail run offers three distance options over the two days: McEasy (around 10km per day), McClassic (around 20km per day), and McBrave (around 30km per day).<\/p>\n

With a run-ride entry option available (run Saturday and ride Sunday) you can choose to experience the best of both celebrations by tackling the trails on foot and bike.<\/p>\n

Entry fee for this option is R2 050.<\/p>\n

The event is known for its festive and relaxed atmosphere, and organisers welcome family and friends to be part of the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so family-centric and a great getaway for riders and their families. There\u2019s so much to do and great places to eat,\u201d said Norman.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to Ride2Nowhere and the exposure it gave us to McGregor, we now live here.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be back for more fun, excitement, and personal challenges \u2013 with my family in tow,\u201d said Norman.<\/p>\n
