Garden Route 300 – 2011
Garden Route 300 “amazing”…
The first annual Garden Route 300 MTB event was held in Knysna over 3 days (25 – 27 February 2011) and was an absolute blast (as the pictures will confirm). The event, despite being new on the MTB calendar in South Africa, was extremely well attended with 152 teams of 2 riders competing.
Organiser: Louise and Pax from Garden Route Events
