Prepare yourself for the Eselfontein Festival MTB, a thrilling three-day mountain biking adventure set in the breathtaking Ceres Valley, just two hours from Cape Town. Riders will experience some of the most scenic and technically rewarding trails in the Western Cape, winding through lush fynbos, rugged mountain slopes, pine forests, and orchards bursting with spring colour.
The heart of the event is the 3-Day Stage Race, featuring challenging climbs and exhilarating descents on purpose-built single track trails. Whether you’re chasing the R30,000 prize for breaking the course record or just aiming to finish, you’ll be surrounded by panoramic views of the Skurwe and Matroosberg mountains.
Not up for three days? Choose from Saturday’s 55 km or 20 km one-day MTB rides, perfect for weekend warriors.
Expect a true festival atmosphere on the spectacular Eselfontein farm, with live music, local food and wine, a swimming pool to cool off, and free camping. Glamping upgrades, bike wash stations, and secure bike storage make the weekend as comfortable as it is exciting.
