The 2018 SAPPI Mankele MTB Challenge | A muddy affair
Mbombela – The annual Sappi Mankele MTB Challenge took part over the weekend. With rain in the forecast for the race and with some showers the night before, the legendary red grounds of Mankele made for a slippery affair with riders returning to the finish point looking like they participated in a WWII movie scene.
As always Brett (Lowveld Chaingang), Mark (Mankele Mountain-biking) and their teams ensured a great venue with a professional set up for riders and spectators alike to enjoy the great facilities on and off the track. Check here for Race Results
Probably one of the very best MTB parks in the country, Mankele Mountain-biking is situated about 25kms out of Nelspruit very near to the Sudwala Caves and can be enjoyed by the whole family over a weekend with fun and eventful things to do all over the place. Make sure to add this to your annual events calendar in the near future!
ShowMe Nelspruit was lucky enough to be on site race day and captured some of the action. The race photos are arranged numerically for ease of search with the venue photos are random but awesome. Check out the photo gallery here…
