Route designer Meurant Botha wears many hats (!), so you can call him what you like from bearded long grey hair mountain biker to race director, Founder of Dirtopia & Amarider, well-known trail builder of twenty-five years and of course a lover of the Simonsberg valley and its wines!
Dirtopias partnership with Muratie has a history just like the old-charm feel on the werf of one of the oldest wine farms in South Africa. The warm hospitality of Muratie and the Melck family love of nature, have welcomed trail users on their land and there is no better way to experience this than at the Muratie Mountain Series event. This time only one route is on offer: a 52km single-track experience for intermediate to advanced riders only. We do not need to describe it in detail. All you need to know is that it is a beautiful ride that you can feel privileged to take part in and will remember for many years to come
No maps will be released, as it is on private land with no access before the event. Rules on the Dirtopia website.
Option to bail out at around 20km when riders pass by the venue or at approximately 35km (before route hits the Never say Never Ending Again single-track) if riders feel that the wine is calling from Muratie Cellar
