The event has become known for its exceptional organisational effort among very tough surroundings which present riders with a unique mountain bike adventure that is rivaled by very few other single day MTB events in South Africa.

This year, Trail Solutions has once again designed a cracker route, with both the 40km and 80km races starting at Inanda Dam, placing you directly in the heart of the best single track riding in South Africa at the moment.

The 80km route will leave Inanda Dam's Msinisi resort and make its way clockwise around the dam on stunning natural trails, kilometers of hand cut single track and some district road to meet the 40km route below the dam wall.

At times, riders will be mere meters from the water's edge on the amazing new trail. Not to be confused with the SA champs, this route cuts out all the serious hills around the dam.

The 40km route leaves Msinsi and makes its way anti clockwise towards the dam wall, with some honest climbs while the legs are fresh. From the high point above the dam the views over the dam are amazing and with the climbs out the way, its heads down and charge towards Kingfisher Club at Blue Lagoon in Durban.

This year will see even less tar sections from the dam down, with some great new sections of trail being built, along with one very special surprise!

We are also in negations to take out the pesky river crossings this year, which will make a huge difference to the route.

The Expedition provides mountain-bikers with an easy-as-you'd-like experience off the bike, but in the same breath representing the essence of the sport when you're out there testing yourself against the naturally beautifully sculpted routes and nature's elements.
