Dubbed the ‘Tour de France’ of Mountain Biking, the race is an extreme event for pro and amateur riders alike.
It starts with the Prologue on the iconic Table Mountain, and continues through various towns in the Western Cape region.
The total distance of 658km includes 13 530m of climbing and will include four consecutive days of over 100km over some of the world’s toughest mountain biking terrain.
The team hopes to give the College some great exposure and show true ‘badger spirit’ in getting through this challenge.
