Details on the Route 66 MTB Ride in Johannesburg


With only a few days left before we close entries for The Bridgestone Route 66 MTB Experience 2013, we thought we'd give you one last reminder that there are only a limited number of spots left for this year's event, so don't miss out. Enter NOW!
Entries close on Monday, 4th of February at 23h00 or when we reach a full field. No late entries will be accepted.
Read on for more information...
The Bridgestone Route 66 MTB Experience is a challenging three-day MTB event starting on Friday 15th of February and finishing on Sunday the 17th of February 2013.

Starting at Monaghan Farm near Lanseria and finishing at Kloofzicht Lodge in The Cradle of Humankind, some three days later, this is the ride to do if you’ve committed to doing one or more of the big mountain biking events in 2013 - Epic, Joburg2C or Sani2C.

This must be part of your 2013 training programme.

In true Leverage Corporation fashion, this will be a ride where you will be challenged; it will be a ride which you will enjoy; and it will be a fantastic event which is well organised and run.

Following last year’s success, there will again be three races on offer, namely:
The Bridgestone Route 66 MTB Experience – 3 day event
The Bridgestone Route 66 MTB Weekend Experience – 2 day event
The Bridgestone Route 66 MTB Mini Experience – 1 day event

Here’s what the route entails:

Day 1: An 80km “warm up” starting at Monaghan Farm and taking you through to Hartebeespoort to the Van Gaalen Cheese Farm.

Day 2: Ok, so now you’re warmed up, get ready for a tough and challenging 70km route kicking off from Van Gaalen. You’ll need to negotiate more than a couple of “men from the boys” climbs before reaching Maropeng in the Cradle of Humankind.

Day 3: Then get ready for the home strip with a final 60km burst from Maropeng to the luxurious 5 Star Kloofzicht Lodge.

210 km later - you’re now ready for that 5 star spoil. Kick back and enjoy a leisurely lunch, compliments of us, while you relax at the pool and soak up the views in the relaxing company of family and friends.

Got your interest? Good! So what’s included and what’s not.

What’s in:

Absolutely unbelievable riding – great single track, good technical challenges and stunning scenery
A professionally planned and managed route
Goodie Bag including race shirt (Race Cap for the full Bridgestone Route 66 riders)
Free Tog Bag transport from Start to Finish
Free Shuttle service from finish of each stage back to the start, compliments of Europcar
Showers at Maropeng and Kloofzicht
Good TLC all along the way
At each finish venue (Van Gaalen and Maropeng) a complimentary lunch consisting of a beef and/ or chicken burger and salads, plus a chill zone offering you a few of your favourite “cold one’s” and a nice place to relax and unwind after a hard day in the saddle
Free bike wash
Secure overnight storage for your bike at Van Gaalen and Maropeng
Sunday lunch at Kloofzicht - a 5 star affair supported by the obligatory beer tent
One of the best and most enjoyable warm ups you’re going to get – tick 210km off that training schedule
