“We are thrilled to offer local mountain bikers a sneak peek into South Africa’s MTB Party of the year,” said Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and the event’s Founder. “Our aim with the Training Ride #1 is to build excitement among participants for the upcoming 10th annual Savanna Origin of Trails MTB Experience in November. The event marks the grand finale of the racing season – hence the party atmosphere. This training ride provides the perfect chance to gauge one’s fitness after the winter season, all while relishing the camaraderie and scenic trails in the company of fellow Savanna Origin of Trails participants.
“Mountain bikers will have the opportunity to enjoy a +- 20 to 30km captivating route that incorporates purpose-built trails within the renowned Tygerberg MTB network at Bloemendal,” elaborated Meyer. “Catering to riders of all proficiency levels, this route promises an array of engaging features, including thrilling singletrack, picturesque vineyard roads, and, of course, a few challenging climbs. The level of ease or difficulty of the route ultimately hinges on how hard you ride. While it may not include overly technical terrain, riders will need some skill to navigate the twists and turns of the singletrack and conquer the uphill stretches on the jeep track.”
In closing Meyer adds: “Join us for a fantastic morning of mountain biking at the Savanna Origin of Trails Training Ride #1. Ensure that you come prepared with your essential riding gear, including spares, hydration, and nutrition supplies. Each rider will receive a coffee before the ride and a light snack. After the ride you can look forward to enjoying an ice-cold Savanna with our team.”
