MTB riders ‘just can’t get enough’

THE Meatmasters routes for the trail runners and the mountain bikers are ready… are you?

With last Wednesday being Women’s Day, we really had a ‘little Saturday’ on which to ride the 50km MTB route twice this week. What a great, well-designed route. The 25km MTB follows the same route as the 50km for the first half. Both routes incorporate supertube-like flowing singletracks through pine plantations and jeep tracks around the plantations to take you above and over the famous kranse of Vryheid to give a breathtaking view over the plantations. The 25km riders come back from the kranse downhill all the way to Bloemveld Dam to complete their ride. The 50km riders will continue past Bloemveld for some more (new) singletrack and jeep tracks… because we just can’t get enough!

The 15km trail runners will run around Bloemveld Dam and will get to see the clubhouse from the other side of the dam. They will then run on a singletrack away from the dam and take a wide turn before coming back over the dam wall.

All in all, this will be a great event! … and a good training run for the Michaelis Challenge next month!

The Meatmasters Mountain Challenge will take place on August 26. Entries can be sent to barbara@foodforafrica.org.
