Empangeni to host Big 5 MTB

The start and finish will be Addison Park

A LATE change in venue of one of the five legs of the Bell Big Five MTB Series will see the Richards Bay race moving to Empangeni.

The organisers are delighted that the Empangeni Cane Rats will be hosting the race under the name, Empangeni Bolt Centre Leopard Chase on the 12 June.

The start and finish will be Addison Park (GPS co-ordinates: Latitude = 28°44’12.22″S; Longitude = 31°53’48.15″E).

The coordinator will be Glynton Reed and he can be contacted on 082 5769072 or email glyntonr@bell.co.za.

George Wilsenach will be the track designer and it presents an exciting chapter in the series’ history as the 50km race will go through the Bell Farm, where Bell Equipment first started in a small workshop.

This race will have amazing single tracks around dams, through the natural vegetation and forests and jeep track through the UVS cane fields.

The 25km track will suit new riders.
