THE 2020 uBhejane Xtreme MTB Challenge is a ride with a difference and this year’s rendition will have a slightly different route and will finish at the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a World Heritage Site.
Riders have five different options to take on and it is fast becoming known as one of the toughest mountain bike events around.
The event continues to take place for a brilliant cause as organisers raise money for the fight against rhino poaching and for rhino conservation in KwaZulu-Natal’s north coast region.
