Berg & Bush in Drakensberg

The 2011 FedGroup Berg and Bush is set to provide riders with another event full of unique experiences. Those who have taken part in the event before would know that the original venue has been the Winterton Country Club. Since 2009, the event is held at the beautiful and picturesque Emseni Camp on the banks of the Tugela River, only 20 minutes outside of Winterton.

The route varies every year offering roughly 130 km of challenging single track, leg burning climbs and hair raising down hills through scenic mountain and bushveld country side. You travel through privately owned farmland and game farms. The race route was created by Winterton based mountain biker and farmer Gary Green and his team who have a broad knowledge of the area. The race promises to be a route that is both challenging and enjoyable for any rider of any skill level and is held under the auspices of the Estcourt Mountain Bike Club.

The roaming mechanics will once again be present at this year’s event in their infamous Berg and Bush kit, so any mechanical problems en route will be attending to by them. The race ambassador’s concept will again be implemented, with 5 of SA’s professional mountain bikers spreading themselves out amongst the field and interacting with riders.

The sundowner’s trip will once again take place on the Saturday afternoon. Supporters and families will again be well looked after with the champagne breakfasts out on route each day.
