CHEAPEST FULL SERVICE RACE YOU WILL EVER DO WITHOUT COMPROMISING QUALITY FOOD AND SERVICE

This is what Hannele Steyn Kotze (Multible SA Champion) had to say about the race in 2009:

"John, like I said, your race was absolute fantastic and an amazing experience. I have been doing mtb racing since 1996 and I have been all over the country and the world and your organization, venue and race can compete with the best."
