Sappi Mankele MTB Challenge
The 2014 Sappi Mankele MTB Challenge took place in great cycling weather at Mankele on the 22nd of March. Overcast to start with, all cyclists including many young children and families thoroughly enjoyed the spectacular riding destination that Mankele and Sappi have to offer.
The four distances on the day included a 65km, 35km, 12km, and a 2.5km race for the kiddies. All the tracks were well maintained and marked, riders could enjoy great single track, bush tunnels and a couple of serious hills.
Overall it was a very well presented race from the start area which had good food stalls, Valencia’s bike shop and lots of space for the kiddies to play all the way to the finish with the Sappi chill zone and cold beers. We are sure most of the racers will be back next year.
