| Route Description |
Now a major race on the Mountain Bike calendar this challenge is a real mountain Bike race for real mountain bikers If the Cape Epic is a mountain bike opera then the MTN National XCM INDUNA is full on Heavy Metal, Rock n Roll! This is your opportunity to ride in a unique and spectacular environment. Forget endless fire road and jeep track climbs where road bike endurance more than MTB skill prevail, the Challenge serves up an entirely different menu to get your teeth into!
 Characterized by hand cut trails snaking through indigenous forest, the course serves up a mind-blowing mix of short sharp climbs, rock shelves, rooty drops and fast bermed switchbacks, throw into this a few shallow water crossings and even some single tracks beaten flat by hippos and you will not regret taking up the challenge!
Making the race even more enjoyable is the Lowveld's warm winter climate, a welcome break from the chilly highveld, camping at the venue will be comfortable and the race atmosphere festive. This is truly a Mountain Bike race for those of us who want the full experience, a race where skill and determination can outrace and outwit just mere fitness. An epic mountain bike race isn't defined by distance alone, it's a bellyful of thrills, a mud splattered grin and the satisfaction in your own personal victory!
Give your bike what it really wants, and what you deserve!
