The first annual Fair Cape MTB challenge, the first race of
its kind in the Boland area, takes place on 10 May 2009. The race takes
place through picturesque private farms just outside of Durbanville,
offering spectacular 360º views of the Boland Mountains and Cape
Peninsula. The two different routes available means that everyone from the
super fit to the less competitive can participate in the fun.
Participants can choose their challenge from a 45 km route
comprising of a variety of single track, climbs, downhill and farm road
conditions, as well as a shorter 22 km that follows the first part of the
long route, but with more moderate climbs, downhill and farm road
conditions.

Families can hop on their bikes for an enjoyable day out as
well as support a worthy cause, as all proceeds are in aid of the Carel du
Toit Centre in Tygerberg for children with hearing impairments and speech
difficulties.
The challenge is open to all ages, but children under ten
must be accompanied by an adult. Contestants stand the chance of winning
great prizes and refreshments will be available along the route.
The race starts off at Rondebossieberg Farm in Durbanville
at 08h00 for the 45 km route and 08h30 for the 22 km route. The challenge
is co-ordinated by the Pedal Power Association and PPA members wearing
their seeded numbers will start off first. Non-members need to acquire a
CSA day license for MTB routes in excess of 20 km.
