#transcapemtb19

The leading posse of @transcapemtb riders are utterly dwarfed by the loom of the #winelands' Cape Fold ranges as they crank towards @houwhoekhotel on the penultimate stage of #transcapemtb19... Fern-lined #singletrack, craggy #mountain #trails, fynbos traverses, sun-kissed water crossings, daredevil descents via fragrant pine forests, tarmac chicanes, and with verdant fruit orchards and vineyards as far as the eyes can see ... this is what the @libertygroupsa #transcape field got to experience over 7x days in the saddle. Massive respect to all the #mtbheroes who took on this gruelling 600km-plus route from the #gardenroute, and via the #KleinKaroo, #Hessequa, #Overberg and into the heart of the Cape's 'French Quarter'.

Fern-lined #singletrack, craggy #mountain #trails, fynbos traverses, sun-kissed water crossings, daredevil descents via fragrant pine forests, tarmac chicanes, and with verdant fruit orchards and vineyards as far as the eyes can see ... this is what the @libertygroupsa #transcapemtb19 riders got treated to on their final day in the saddle. A glorious route took them from the @houwhoekhotel near #Grabouw all the way to @holdenmanzwineestate outside #franschhoek. This arguably rates as the most exhilarating (and possibly scenic) of all the @transcapemtb stages, meandering via the #Winelands mountains, farmlands and plantations for well on 80km.

Hello, #Hessequa! Yup, the term 'done and dusted' rang true today on #Stage3 of the #TransCapeMTB19 as riders hammered back roads all the way from the remote #RooibergLodge to the glorious little dorp of #Riversdale, set within the temperate and mountainous Cape grain-belt. First official #colab with @ozone.africa, and loving the energy! 🙌🏻 Cheering school children and a festival atmosphere welcomed the sharp end of the peleton to town, while many riders took a more leisurely approach to this 'Bike Journey across the Cape'. The true @libertygroupsa #Transcapers stopped at water points to sample gourmet offerings, chat to the amazing marshalls, or to just take in the incredible headspace of the ever-chaning countryside as they pitted themselves against the harsh terrain and merciless sun. There are 4x days of riding remaining en route to @holdenmanzwineestate in #franschhoek, but tomorrow will take us to sumptuous #swellendam via the stunning @gvbconservancy #singletrack. All results at www.transcapemtb.co.za ... this is one of those unique events you do not want to miss! #transcapemtb19 #asgsport #libertygroupsa #volvocars #mtb mountainbike #sony #sonyalpha #SonyZA #sonyalphaSA #sonyxperiaza #AndBreathe #theOzone (at Riversdale : Hessequa Municipality) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btgr4hlB6V0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ljkksnihf8z9
