Hobbiton MTB Cycle Race
Venue: Hogsback
Dates: 14/12/2019 to 14/12/2019
Times: 6am
Hobbiton Fund-raiser, an MTB Cycle Race to be held on 14 December 2019
The major fund- raising event for the Hobbiton Jubilee celebrations is the MTB cycle race. Entries may be sent through from enthusiasts and institutions in April. We appeal for sponsorships as well.
In celebrating Hobbiton’s 75 year Jubilee in 2020, a weekend of festivities will be hosted which will include the opening of a new Middle Ropes Course at Hogsback. This event will generate funds to build this new course. This course will assist with teaching children to understand the need for team work and enable them to practise working together.
The race will include a 5km Fun Ride, 15km and 45km routes hugging the dolerite rock faces of the iconic three Hogsback Mountains. The longer route will take riders through normally restricted areas of indigenous forest filled with squawking Cape Parrots (endangered), up onto vast grasslands, and then through cool pine plantations before descending back towards Hobbiton and more magical forest and waterfalls to the cheers of Samango monkeys! The 45km race is hoping to attract at least 200 riders and their families, the other races will be a bonus but no less important or fun.
Please support by making sponsorships or by entering. Entry forms for Bike race 14 December 2019 are available on the Hobbiton webpage. Please write to our secretary Nell at hobbitons@telkomsa.net.
