This year’s Stanford MTB Classic will take on the popular guided ride format when the one-day mountain bike event takes place at Stanford Valley Guest Farm, Western Cape, on February 27.
Recent Covid-19 restrictions have resulted in many cycling events being either cancelled or postponed, which caused the decision to change Stanford MTB Classic’s format.
Fortunately, we have the option to proceed with outdoor gatherings in accordance with SAPS’s low-risk approval in certain areas.
Overberg MTB events would not present an officially sanctioned Cycling SA event as planned.
To still be able to allow riders to enjoy and ride world-class and exclusive MTB routes, we are changing the format to a guided ride that will be limited to 100 entries.
Organisers are consolidating to two distance options for this year’s Stanford MTB Classic, and reducing the entry fees accordingly.
Riders will still be riding all the single tracks and recently established trails. Due to curfew-hour limitations, as well as the heat and time of year, we decided to omit the 85km for 2021. Riders who have already entered for the 85km will have the option to change their entry to the 55km or rollover to 2022.
Amended distance options and fees:
55km (R550)
25km (R350).
All entries include a scrumptious hamburger at Stanford Valley Guest farm.
