Organisateur: Montagu 100 Miler 2nd November
There are this year THREE distances to choose from:
140km Gravel Race 100 kilometers 55km’s fun ride
Putting this route together has had many challenges but with help from landowners and a few seasonal gravel riders we managed to put something truly spectacular together. Makadas Adventures, MATA & Africa Game Lodge presents a route….. that is truly out of Africa. Magical, special, unique, and diverse are words that comes to mind.
2023 was the first year that certain sections of private land was opened to cyclists and only as a once-off for this event, it was such a hit that we got the priviledge to use it once again in the 2024, this will only be for the 100km route though.
Africa Game Lodge truly captures a bit of the essence of Africa.
There is enough time to train for this one, mark it on your calendar or better yet enter now. You do not want to be the one that misses out on this very special opportunity. On both the 140km and the 100km routes game such as: Giraffe, Gemsbok, Eland, Kudu, Zebra, and Springbok can be seen.
Medals to all Finishers.
