MOUNTAIN bikers heading for Underberg for the Euro Steel Drak Descent in partnership with FNB on 30 and 31 January 2021 can look forward to the second day starting with brand new trails designed to give the athletes a never before seen view of the Southern Drakensberg.
While the riders were uniformly happy with the trails on offer at last year’s event, the Sani Spoors team has mapped out a new start to the final stage that will lead from the overnight stop at Sinister Pool up onto the ridge above the Elgin valley where arguably the best view of the mountains will lead them to the Superbowl trails that take them back into the uMzimkhulu valley for the remainder of the final stage.

“We are continually looking at ways to enhance the enjoyment of the riders and runners, and this new section, which starts with a short climb up to the Cobham Road ridge will use existing eland and cattle paths which we have manicured and will offer a really great view of the Berg,” said Sani Spoors Pierre Horn.
“We wanted to create a section where everyone can soak up the view of the Drakensberg,” said Horn.
