17 May 2013 at 01:46hrs | Views
The 3-day Mountain Bike Race around Victoria Falls, through National Parks on challenging off-road terrain. The race route travels through areas not usually open to the public and runs through the National Parks; making it a truly unique experience.
Day 1 is a 70km ride from Matetsi, through the Zambezi National park along the banks of the Zambezi river to end at the Victoria Falls Hotel, this day had a lot of kalahari sand to cycle through, so cyclists had their work cut out for them.
Day 2 is a flattish section out to the Woodlands community area and passing through the Nakavango Private Game Reserve where cyclists risked the Elephants, Buffalo, Lions and Rhinos, it was very fast but ended up a distance of 85km, again ending at the Vic Falls Hotel.
Finally day 3 consists of 80km, all the riders circumnavigated the town to get to access the Wild Horizons private concession at their gate to Rapid number 11, here the cyclists rode along the top of the gorges, which provided spectacular scenery for all to behold.
For accommodation, participants can consider a 5 day land only package from $754 pps
Includes 4 nights accommodation at Adventure Lodge, breakfast daily, 3 dinners, event entry fee, park and concession fees, marshalling, security, timing, refreshments en-route, t-shirt, medal and secure bike storage.
