This year - 2012 - once again sees a number of exciting changes in terms of rider value to this successful nine year old event held in the Mountain Biking Mecca of Mpumalanga. 

 

Introducing the Sabie Solo Xperience and Team Lite races, it was decided to make our main race a solo event and giving teams or individuals the opportunity to enter the Sabie Team Lite race.

 

Since its inception in 2010, there has been a growing interest in the Sabie Lite ride, and for that reason we have decided to make it even more family orientated, while the true "race snakes" can continue to fight it out for honours in the Sabie Solo Xperience, over slightly shortened distances. 

 

But we all know that in and around Sabie, the mountains, weather and trail surface conditions ensure that it is never an easy day in the saddle!

 

The Sabie Team Lite ride will now be a fully fledged stage race as well, with prizes and medals for podium positions each day, and overall general classification.  It will be a mini stage race over the first two days, just to prepare the "Wannabe" riders for the full Sabie Solo Xperience next year. The Lite riders of bygone years  may now want to try their hand (and legs!) at the full 4 day Sabie Solo Xperience this year, with the two final days being the real test over longer distances, tougher climbs and technical single track sections.

 

The Sabie Solo Xperience event, will be the only stage race currently for solo riders to enter and not in teams.

The Sabie Team Lite event can be entered by teams of two riders or individually.

We will also allow up to 100 individual entries in limited categories for those of you who choose to ride without the "extra  admin" of having a partner.

 

Our new Title Sponsor - MY  SPAR - have indicated their increased support for a family orientated event with something fun for the kids to do at the start/finish area and even trail runners to do while the riders are in the mountains.

 

This year every rider will, on finishing each stage, be provided with a light lunch and drink, to consume while his/her bike is being washed, and sharing "war stories" with partners under the shady trees and tents at the finish area.

 

The Sabie Chamber of Commerce and Tourism have also indicated their full support for an event of this nature over the December holiday period.  Many of their members are generously contributing to and sponsoring the event in various ways to make it a memorable event and holiday for those families who wish to stay on in the town for longer than just the race.

 

We will be organising a trail run for those interested on the last two days.  So now the Sabie Team Lite riders can also individually enter this event together with their partners or other family members.  The distances will be around 12 - 16km, and traverse some of the best single track in the lower slopes of the mountains.
