Mountain biking enthusiasts can look forward to a new challenge on the winter race calendar. Sun International’s Wild Coast Sun is introducing the Wild Coast Sun Adventure MTB Fun Rides on Saturday, 4 July 2015.
A prelude to the prestigious Burry Stander Sardine Classic at the Port Edward Holiday Resort on Sunday, 5 July 2015, the Wild Coast Sun Adventure MTB Fun Rides comprise two race routes – a 20km and a 10km – starting from the Wild Waves Water Park. The routes, set by professional trail builder Jan Abbott from Clearwater Trails, take riders on a scenic and challenging course along exquisite private beaches and through diverse and beautiful landscapes.
The fun rides are an opportunity for friends and families to enjoy some light-hearted outdoor adventure while for those competing in the Burry Stander Sardine Classic, the ride is a training opportunity for the 40km race the following day.
All riders participating in the Wild Coast Sun MTB Fun Rides qualify for free entry to the Wild Waves Water Park for the day, while their families qualify for a 50% discount on entrance to the park. Participating in the rides also comes with the chance to win great prizes.
“After a fun-filled ride, participants can enjoy thrilling water rides with their friends and families at our water park,” says Sandi Burger, the PR and Promotions Manager at the Wild Coast Sun.
