The 2012 Honda Mountain Trophy

Welcome to the third edition of the most exciting thing to happen to mountain biking - The Honda Mountain Trophy..

This two-day mountain biking event promises to be an exhilarating experience and will take place over the weekend of 28 and 29 April 2012.

Things have improved significantly with regards to the route as we have upgraded various sections to make this really special. Based at Maropeng, in the heart of The Cradle of Humankind, the event is one of a kind as we have managed to negotiate with the land owners in the area to gain exclusive access to some of the most fantastic and unbelievable riding trails ever.

The Honda Mountain Trophy promises a fantastic offering of single track, plus some challenging off-road, and of course some good technical aspects. But do remember that we are calling this the “Mountain Trophy” for good reason. It is not all flat. We will be making good use of tracks and trails which have previously been used for private events. On these farms you will be riding amongst some amazing wildlife such as Zebra, Wildebeest and even Rhino.

Entries open on 15th of February, and will close on the 15th of April or when a full field of 500 riders is reached

Stage 1: 75km of exhilarating riding, beautiful views, a few hills and much, much more (Start time: 07h00)
