The Gateway Gauntlet will be the next best thing since remote lockouts were invented and takes place on October 9 inside Expo Xplore at Gateway Theatre of Shopping.
This is set to become the signature sporting event for Gateway as well as being the only mountain biking event in Africa that rides through and finishes inside a shopping centre.
There are three main events; the first and biggest race will be a two-lap (20km) course, consisting of an exciting and unique 10km route. The route will consist of flat-out tar sprints, coupled with grinding and sharp dirt track turns, with short technical sections thrown in the mix every now and then.
Natural obstacles will be used or concept obstacles built to give riders an intense sense of adventure, tempered by technical accomplishment. But don’t despair, chicken runs will always be available for the faint hearted!
