MTB Challenge adds three-day ride
uBhejane Xtreme MTB Challenge is a fundraiser to be held between 6 and 8 December.
THE uBhejane Xtreme MTB Challenge between Hillcrest and Hilltop Camp in Hluhluwe has added a three-day ride to its list of events in its annual rhino conservation fundraiser, with the three stage ride starting on Thursday, 6 December, and finishing with all the other one day rides on Saturday 8 December.
The uBhejane Xtreme was always an iconic 340km ride for rhinos that prided itself on the fact that it was a challenge, an event that not all riders would be able to finish. It was a challenge that raises thousands of rands for Project Rhino, committed to protecting rhino from poachers.
“We had quite a few requests from people that wanted to take part in the event but didn’t want to do in just one day. At the moment we have around 30 people that want to do the three-day event and we haven’t really done much to promote it so those numbers should rise,” event organiser Cliff Wills mentioned.

The route for the three-day event will take a different route to the one-day event with riders being treated to a ride through the Inanda Valley on their way to the first overnight stop in Zinkwazi. The second day will take riders to the Canefields Country House near Richards Bay and then the final day takes riders to Hilltop Camp in Hluhluwe.
Those interested in taking part may apply to enter. Donations can be submitted and information found via www.ubhejanex.co.za.
