Green and Haw are responsible for the successful Berg and Bush and sani2c mountain bike stage races respectively.
The event was fully serviced – each rider (team of two or solo) is allocated a tent and three meals per day at the eight overnight stops or race villages.
Furthermore, top tier amateur and semi-pro riders can now apply for sponsorship on the condition that they are serious contenders for the main prize purse.
Riders traversed a variety of agricultural holdings including game, dairy and cattle country, maize lands, rose and stud farms, sugarcane fields and pine plantations.
The 910-kilometre route takes riders across the country’s agricultural hinterland – from Heidelberg in Gauteng, through the north-eastern Free State and along the foothills of the Drakensberg to Scottburgh in KwaZulu-Natal.
