Popular PPC Kremetart this weekend

Hundreds of enthusiastic cyclists and mountain bikers are expected to flock to Louis Trichardt for the annual PPC Kremetart Stage Race on Saturday and the Total Mountain Bike Cross Country Olympic at the Komatiland Forestry Hanglip on Sunday.
The PPC Kremetart is the only stage race in South Africa and cyclists can enjoy a whole day of cycling while feasting their eyes on the lush scenery of the Soutpansberg and Bushveld.
The annual race is hosted by P & L Hardware Cycling Club of Louis Trichardt in conjunction with Kremetart Cycling, a Section 21 company.
Registration and number collection can be done at Hoërskool Louis Trichardt tomorrow (Friday) from 12:00 to 20:00.
On Saturday the first set of cyclists is to be set off from the main arena at the Tourism Info Village next to the N1 at 06:40. The first stage is a 53 km challenge over the Soutpansberg to Waterpoort. From Waterpoort cyclists will race to Vivo over
48 km and then to Schoemansdal on the third stage over 52 km. The final stage from Schoemansdal to Louis Trichardt is a 22 km
ride and promises big action as cyclists make their way to the finish line.
Mountain bikers can look forward to Sunday’s Total Mountain Bike Cross Country Olympic. The rocky mountain terrain and muddy conditions on rainy days presents mountain bikers a unique challenge to test their skills at the highest level.
The first race is set to start at 08:00 and prize giving is scheduled for 12:30.
