Mountain bikers to finally get the Sabie Xperience
Registration are closed. The three-day event will start with stage one on November 13, with the fun ride to be held on Saturday.
After being postponed due to lockdown regulations in May, the much-anticipated annual Sabie Xperience takes place at Floreat Riverside Lodge this weekend.
Registration are closed. The three-day event will start with stage one on November 13, with the fun ride to be held on Saturday.
Riders’ entries from May have automatically been moved to the new dates. For those who are not able to make the new ones, please contact the race office to roll your entry over to the 2021 event (date has not been set yet). Riders will be liable for the difference in entry fee cost in 2021.
Sabie Xperience organisers encourage new riders to enter and come and experience a great stage race in beautiful, but challenging surroundings towards the end of a disrupted mountain biking year.
If riders would like to cancel their entries and receive a refund, an administration fee of R800 per rider will be deducted from their entry fees. To cancel yours, the race office can be contacted on 013-764-3500.
“The Sabie Xperience team look forward to welcoming our riders to experience our unique stage race, this time during start of the Lowveld summer,” organisers said. A pleasant 23 degree Celsius maximum is expected for Friday, 26 for Saturday and 27 for Sunday. This is sure to bring some relief following the draining heat this past weekend. There is a slim chance of rain on Thursday before the race.
