Now in its fifth year, the JBay Wind Farm MTB Classic 2017 will offer something for riders of a range of fitness and skill levels. With the start (and finish) at Kabeljouws there will be three routes, 25km, 50km and 85km.
The short route will be the same as in 2016, with the 50km marathon featuring a few changes including one or two additional climbs. It is in the 85-kilometre ultra where seriously fit riders will be in for a real treat though.
Traditionally an ideal shakedown training ride ahead of Transbaviaans in August, the route will be technical and tough and, almost completely different from previous years with a lot of new singletrack. (Watch the local press for a full route reveal soon).
There will once again be R50 000 worth of prices up for grabs with a R10 000 first prize for both the male and female 85km ultra category winners.
“Being a carbon-free, clean sport, mountain-biking so it fits into our business’s ethos perfectly, which is just another reason why our support team continues to grow exponentially each year,” said Mark Pickering, General Manager of the Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm.
Entries are open for the JBay Wind Farm MTB Classic on 22 July 2017. The event forms part of the JBay Winterfest and will showcase some of the finest trails in the surrounding area.
