Enjoy Franschhoek's beauty on a bike
2006-06-29
AVID mountain-bikers can grease their chains for the sixth running of the Dewdale Mountain Bike Classic that will take place in Franschhoek on 9 July.
This year the route has been laid out as a challenging, but enjoyable ride for riders of all ages and fitness levels.
Participants and their supporters can look forward to ample parking, a well-positioned registration area with all necessary facilities, as well as a well-marked and well-marshalled course at the Dewdale Trout Fishery.
This year the sponsors and organisers have also decided to assist four riders who do not usually have the privilege to participate in an event of this nature.
The course consists of two main loops, each about 12km long.
Riders will have a choice of three routes/distances: a 50km race
(completing the route twice), a 25km (completing the course once) and 10km.
La Vie de Luc will sponsor their entries, Pick ’n Pay Franschhoek will supply shirts and nutrition and ManiC Cycles will be sponsoring their bicycles and helmets for the day.
The riders will be attempting the short route on the day.
Parents can bring their youngsters, five years or younger, to ride around on the farm, while the older children participate in the official event.
The whole family can thus enjoy the event and make a day of it. Food and drink stalls will also be available.
