Farmer Glen and the Sani2c team are hard at work as the Sani2C race series kicked off yestertay with the Trail event, then today its the Adventure and tomorrow the Race riders set off. Its no small operation moving almost 4000 mountain bikers from Underberg down to the sea in Scottburgh over the 5 day period.
As the event grows so does the amount and variety of community support and the development of the region. More than 1500 trees will be planted along the route thanks to rider donations this year. There is also construction of a cycle and walking path "Charlies catwalk" in the Highflats area to make commuting for the locals safer. Its a win win situation for all, the riders love to ride this unique route with its legendary singletrack and the community welcomes them in, knowing that they have contributed to making life better.
This year there is TV coverage on supersport every evenning at 10pm with a highlights package starting tonight. So look out for that if you are not one of the fortunate ones to be experiencing it all on your bike.
