AMARIDER 100MILER ULTRA MARATHON RETURNS TO THE SWARTLAND

South Africa’s top mountain bikers and marathon junkies will once again be seen testing their endurance levels during the awe-inspiring AMArider 100Miler, taking place for the third year!

This adrenaline pumping event will start & finish in Malmesbury, and will this year give other riders a taste of the route with a shorter option of about 60km.
The 160km route is divided into three sections of approximately 60km with three compulsory timing checkpoints.  The point-to-point format of the race will also create perfect vantage points for spectators and supporters.  This one day ultra marathon has a ‘solo rider’ category as well as teams of 4 riders.

 

DATE:  Saturday, 21 May 2011
TIME:  07h30
DISTANCE: 160km
Shorter option of 60km

 

This exciting route has been developed with the co-operation of local farmers and landowners, who gave permission for the organisers and cyclists to have access to their properties.  This type of support forms the foundation of Amarider, which endeavours to bring new routes to riders and new riders to existing routes.
