The annual Cape Argus Pick n Pay MTB Challenge will once again span over two days on the Boschendal Wine Estate outside Stellenbosch.

Date: Saturday, 3 March & Sunday, 4 March 2012
Distance: 13km, 29km (Saturday) & 32km, 52km and 65km (Sunday)
Venue: Boschendal Wine Estate

Test your mountain biking skills on steep slopes, corkscrew turns and furrowed vineyards. Both seasoned mountain bikers and brave newcomers can look forward to a challenging ride through the Boschendal Wine Estate courtesy of trail builder extraordinaire, Meurant Botha.

If dirt is not your thing, bring a blanket, relax on the lawns, taste some of the local estate wines and enjoy a great family day out.
The 65km,52km and 32km routes are very challenging and only for experienced riders, but the shorter routes (13km and 29km) are aimed at parents wishing to tackle this event with their kids.

If you complete the 52 or 65 km Cape Argus Pick n Pay MTB Challenge AND the 110 km Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour you will receive a special medal in the mail!
