Kingfisher MTB Enduro Race in Wilderness, Garden Route

Every year the quiet little village of Hoekwil, just above Wilderness in the Garden Route gets flooded with enthusiastic Mountain Bikers, looking for an adventure… And that is exactly what the Kingfisher Enduro Race is… an adventure!

On the weekend of the 24 March 2012, cyclists from all over the country will take part in this prestigious mountain bike race which is organized by the Hoekwil Primary School.

Not only is the race registered with the SA Cycling Federation, but it is also part of the South Cape Enduro Series, which riders need to complete in order to get SWD colours and to qualify for SA Championships.

The Route:
What makes this race so sought after is the picturesque route which takes the riders through beautiful farmland and the Bergplaas State Forest, an area normally inaccessible for riders. The course for 2012 has been rerouted so as to include a wider spread of riding conditions.

There is normally more than enough to do on the day. There will be a short 3km race for the younger riders (ages 6 – 12). For the not so fit rider who wishes to do a fun ride, there will be a 20km race through the surrounding farms. But for the serious riders, the 40km and the 70km offers more than enough ‘adventure’; with the 70km only recommended for the fit! The 70km race starts at 07h30.
