Don't let the distances fool you! You will experience a mix of Single Track, Gnarly Down Hills, Steep Climbs and water crossings.

5 Water Points on offer - We are excited to announce that our fellow mountain biker and Franschhoek's most loved Chef, Neil Jewell from Bread & Wine will be tending to a Water Point. Stop for his Naked Droerwors, Miss Molly Mossbolletjies, homemade fruitgums and loads more home made goodies. Both the long and short route will be going past these water points. No Problem - There will be a jumping castle for the kiddies. Please note that we will have no bike wash due to the water crisis.

* FUNDS RAISED
This is the 19th MTB event to be held in Franschhoek. Monies raised from this event go towards “Site First”. This project helps save the eyesight of local farm workers and underprivileged from the young to the elderly within the community by eye screening, eye care and cataract surgeries. On 7th June 2017 a total of 307 people from the Franschhoek community went for eye screening and supplied with reading glasses from which 105 were referred for further testing at a local optometrist. They will receive tested spectacles if required and this is all paid for by the Franschhoek Lions Club from our Sight First Projects. Vendors
