The SANParks Honorary Rangers in the Karoo Region, in conjunction with Karoo National Park, are hosting the second annual Sylvester Mountain Bike Challenge over the weekend of 22 – 24 June. The event has grown substantially since the inaugural one last year – as it now comprises of a three-day mountain bike tour and an 11km trail run. There will also be shorter, fun and easier event for parents and their little ones.
The three-day tour cyclists will kick off at 3PM on Friday 22 June at the Park’s Reception area with a 4km time trial – something that will naturally excite spectators where they will get to see how the cyclists manoeuvre through narrow pathways. The rest of the event (Saturday and Sunday) will take place at Grantham (45km from the Park on the Oukloof road towards Fraserburg). All the distance events will begin and end at Grantham, where there will also be food on sale.
The following events take place on Saturday 23 June:
