The Spur Mountain Bike Classic will be moving to the Nooitgedacht Estate near Stellenbosch on 25 September. After careful consideration and discussions between the event organisers, Dirtopia, and the title sponsor, Spur Steak Ranches, a decision was made to move the event to the venue. The decision follows the Augustmugging incident on Die Burger MTB Challenge 50 km route. The two events used similar routes in 2014 and there have since been subsequent attacks and no progress made in apprehending the suspects. Thus, say organisers, to provide riders and supporters with the safest and most enjoyable family experience, a new venue and routes had to be sourced. The Spur Mountain Bike Classic is one of the longest running mountain bike events in the country and has always been a great family outdoor event. Nooitgedacht provides access to picturesque trails around the Simonsberg wine ward. Riders can always look forward to beautiful riding and views in this Stellenbosch valley. With three routes on offer Z 13 km, 30 km and 45 km Z plus kiddies rides of 500 m, 1 km and 3 km, there is something for all ages and abilities! Entry fees will contribute to the Simonsberg Conservancy. Routes will cross many famous wine estates in the area and the finish has a remarkable setting among trees and a picnic area. The 30 km and 45 km routes will incorporate some of the trail network either side of the R44. The 15 km and kiddies routes comprise Nooitgedacht, L’Avenir and neighbouring farms. There will be jumping castles, entertainment and good food at the finish as well as refreshment stations on the routes and medals to all finishers. Pre-entries save on entry fees and receive goodies at registration. Participants are invited to stay for the lucky draw after the event, as all riders stand a chance to win great prizes, including a Giant Simple Seven bike and bottles of fine wine from the area.
