KNYSNA NEWS FLASH - Online entries for the 2016 Momentum Weekend Argus Knysna Cycle Tour are now open.
Tour director Elwin Thompson says the Knysna Rotary Club, which coordinates the tour every year, are looking forward to the biggest and best event ever.
“The race, which celebrates its 29th year in 2016, has grown enormously since its inception and now comprises four very popular events: MTB events, road races, the Spur Children’s Tour and the Forest Family Dam Ride. These take place on July 2 and 3 over the first weekend of the Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival (July 1 to 10 July).”
The MTB event is one of the biggest in southern Africa and includes outstanding cycling routes through the Knysna forest. The 50km and 80km MTB races are official premier seeding events of the 2017 Cape Town Cycle Tour.
There are four different MTB races in total for varying technical abilities – 80km, 50km, 30km and 15km – and routes include access to privately owned sections of property that are usually closed to the public.
On the second day of the festival there are also road races, the SPUR Children’s Tour and the Forest Family Dam Ride.
