Adventure through Tala with your littlies
Gear up for the highly-anticipated 18km family-oriented event at the Illovo Eston MTB Challenge.
THE 18km STIHL Tala Family Ride remains a key attraction for the annual Illovo Eston MTB Challenge at Eston Farmers’ Club on Sunday, 7 August.
Scores of riders can enjoy a slower paced, family-orientated time in the saddle during the 18km exploration through the bushveld trails and pathways while spotting the reserve’s variety of game from a distance at the Tala Collection Private Game Reserve.
“Tala is unusual as a private game reserve in that it does not practice a policy of exclusivity but rather encourages daily outings with family and friends,” said the game reserve’s general manager, Mike Nunan. “The Illovo Eston MTB Challenge, and the 18km STIHL Tala Family Ride in particular, fits perfectly into our philosophy of spending time with family in a safe conservation environment pursuing healthy activities.”
With the Illovo Eston MTB Challenge’s four events – 60km Illovo Eston Marathon, 40km aQuellé Half Marathon, 18km STIHL Tala Family Ride and 10km Omnia Kids Ride – offering a wealth of off-road adventure options, Nunan urges friends and families to enjoy themselves and make a day of the trip to the Eston region. “Have fun, be safe and respect the wonderful environment through which you cycle,” encouraged Mike.
