There’s something magical about multi-day mountain bike rides in South Africa. Most do them in form of stage races, but the real magic lies in doing them in a supported small group. No pressure, no rush, no tents, no queues… Only a great experience! That’s exactly what you get when you sign up for an Ultra MTB Experience.
