Java MTB Challenge 2019 Bigger & Better
The 7th annual Java MTB Challenge takes place at Van Loveren Family Vineyards in the Robertson valley on 12 October. The charity MTB event will thrill regulars and first timers alike with a few new cards up their sleeve.
The Java routes & trails come highly recommended by top riders, showcasing the unique beauty of the wine lands. Routes range from a non-technical fun ride which is perfect for families to do together, all the way up to gruelling routes for top riders only. A brand new 65km MTB route with about a 1400m elevation will be replacing the 80km AND a brand new additional Xtreme Trail Run of 15km will be offered for the adventure-loving runner.
