All-mountain enduro in the Boland

There will be an enduro event on the Helderberg Farm, in Somerset West, on Sunday August 21, with four stages on these special trails.

The concept of enduro is a lot of fun – riders get timed only on certain sections, which make a very social event, especially at the refreshment station where they re-group.

The atmosphere is relaxed with no rush anywhere, except when you gun it between check points.

The start time is 9.30am, and registration is from 9.30am.

The pre-entry fee is R350 for non-members and R330 for Ama-rider members for one day.

Only pre-entries will be accepted.

* On Sunday August 28, there will be another event, on Delvera Farm, outside Stellenbosch.

Registration is from 6.45am, and distances and start times are as follows: 15km: 8am; 12.5km: 8.15am, 7.5km: 8.30am and 5km: 8.45am.

Pre-entry costs are: 5km – R85 (no waterpoint), 7.5km – R100, 12.5km – R125 and 15km -R145.
