An exciting mix of adventure trails awaits riders when the Sanlam MTB Invitational takes place from Rhebokskloof Wine Estate near Paarl on November 19 and 20.<\/p>\n

Having completed a survey of the possible route options this week, race director Darren Herbst, from ASG Events, said they were looking forward to creating an interesting challenge for riders.<\/p>\n

He said the route scouting for the race, which is co-presented by the City of Drakenstein, also formed the groundwork for creating a series of permanent trails in the area.<\/p>\n

“We expect this to be the catalyst to develop an area which has plenty of riding options for mountain bikers.”<\/p>\n

To this end, Herbst said they were looking at establishing a mix of single-track and other trails through a number of wine farms.<\/p>\n

“These will take in the natural terrain and highlight the breath-taking scenery,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We have already identified a number of new sections that will be used for the race itself.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, those wanting to compete in the Sanlam MTB Invitational still stand a chance to receive a state-of-the-art backpack after the early bird entry offer was extended to Friday.<\/p>\n

The extension was agreed to by event partners Scicon after the gift – a Solargenome Hydracharge backpack – proved extremely popular.<\/p>\n

While anyone can enter the race, which is based on a two-man team format, Herbst said families were encouraged to enter as father and son, mother and son, father and daughter or mother and daughter combinations.<\/p>\n

He added that they had teamed up with Cartrip, a company that offers an internet-based platform allowing drivers and passengers to arrange lifts together.<\/p>\n
