Greyton Classic race report

Greyton Classic MTB & Trail Run

16 June

Another spectacular winter day in the mountains surrounding Greyton, offered the cyclists and runners a truly amazing event. The cars were streaming into the village for a great weekend in the country and to experience awesome routes at the foot of the Sonderend Mountain range, traversing some 7 private farms.

The Greyton Classic is now in its 6^th year and growing from strength to strength.

The 45km MTB is a short but tough ride, offering a variety of tracks, with some serious climbs and technical sections. Feedback from strong cyclists is that its not a walk in the park !

The 21km is an MTB and Run also offers spectacular scenery, a hard workout, variety of tracks and fantastic fun.

The 10km worked its way around various orchards and is a novice ride and a great run for everyone.

The venue at The Oaks Estate is an experience all on its own. Very rarely are we so spoilt to have such a beautiful setting for an event. Johnny Koen had the crowd in fits of laughter during the event, the food and drinks flowed, and the atmosphere was electric.

The village was alive and buzzing over the weekend, with buskers on every corner, street cafes buzzing and live funky music filtering through the streets.

2013 is a must > keep this date on your calender.
