Taking place in the beautiful Karkloof area of the KZN Midlands, our ride will take you around the amazing network of district and forest roads, through the land of Milk and Forestry.
Many people know the Karkloof for the famous singletrack, but the gravel roads of the Midlands are some of the smoothest and most scenic in our beautiful land.
Add to this the warm hospitality of farming folk and lots of off the bike experiences for non-riders and you have a recipe for a great weekend.
This event is brought to you by the organisers of the Berg 100 MTB race, Katie and Devlin Fogg. So expect the same personal touches and awesome event!
Both events will start and finish at the Absa Karkloof Country Club.
