J-Bay MTB Event
Friday 12 July 2013 The J-Bay MTB Open takes place tomorrow, one of the last events of the #jbaywinterfest before the Flamingo Trail Run on Sunday. Register at Fountains Mall this evening between 6 and 9 for three distances: 5, 40 and 85km.
The first event of the day will be the Ultra Marathon (85-90km). Starting time is 8am. The route will take you through 7 farms around the area, to Humansdorp, into and around the mountains and back to the mall. It is going to be a tough race with an approximate 1200m elevation, but with 70% fast single track and 1 or 2 hectic downhills, that will test even the most experienced riders and be an excellent training ride for the upcoming Trans Baviaans.
The 40km Half Marathon will start at 8.30am. It's going to be an exciting, fast race with 1 or 2 obstacles that you can negotiate to make up some time, or for the less adventurous, there is the slightly easier but longer detour section.
The 5km fun ride will be for the young and old, and will be nice way to introduce the sport to our kiddies.
