PSG Ride the Ridges MTB event launched
SPORT REPORTER
PSG and Capricorn Group yesterday announced the launch of the 2022 PSG Ride the Ridges mountain bike (MTB) event.
The Ride the Ridges competition is a new unique three-day stage race that is scheduled for 25 to 27 March 2022 in and around Windhoek.
The vision of PSG and Capricorn Group is to offer a world-class event that will start and end at Heja Lodge, east of the capital.
It is an individual event and each day of the race will offer a unique experience for riders who will have access to seldom-used jeep and game tracks in and around Heja Lodge.
“We are excited to launch the PSG Ride the Ridges, co-sponsored by Capricorn Group.
“Our vision is to offer riders a very unique experience, unlike any other stage race in Namibia.
“The name of the event is telling of what riders can expect – to ride the ridges in and around Windhoek on some of the very best trails there are on offer,” PSG director Brian van Rensburg said.
Van Rensburg added that the event will give Windhoek-based riders the opportunity to spend the night at their homes and not require transport or accommodation.
The distances vary from 25 to 30 km on day one, 70 km on day two (with a shorter route also on offer) and 35 – 40 km on day three.
The entry fee per rider is N$2 500 and includes three days of sublime riding, one-of-a-kind feeding stations, a rider hospitality area at the finish line, meals and drinks after every stage, coffee and rusks each morning, a secure bike park, complimentary bike wash and lube after stage 1 and 2 and the awards ceremony on day three with lucky draws.
Each rider will also get his or her own pair of branded Freedom of Movement vellies, a race fuel package, power bank, Versus socks, event buff and a unique finisher medal.
All entries close on 30 January 2022. All paid entries received by 31 December 2021 will qualify for the lucky draw of a Thule Round Trip Bike Duffel 55L valued at N$3 500.
“Should the event be cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions/complications, all entry fees will be fully refunded. All Covid-19 protocols and regulations will be adhered to.
