The Old Mutual go2berg is a full-service, 6 and half day mountain bike, and gravel, stage ride through the heart of South Africa. The half day is because we do an afternoon prologue to calibrate bike, body and soul on the day of registration. The stages are challenging but very doable for those who put the effort into their preparation. Our aim is not break you but to rather uplift you with an truly unique adventure.
The Mountain bike route is mix of rural gravel roads, farm roads and loads of single track trails.
The Gravel bike route will be specific for gravel bikes.
The Old Mutual go2berg is about getting away from normal life to experience something that is truly uplifting for the rider and the communities we pass through.
It is a combination of all. Our riders feel like they are on an ‘off-road’ tour of South Africa. They are hosted by passionate communities who use the event to raise much needed funds. The food is exceptional and hospitality and community spirit event better.
After a great day on the bike, drinks flow, stories grow, and the vibe is all about connecting with great people from all over South Africa and the world. You will make friends, you may even put on a few kilos (pounds) because of the feast, and you will see some incredible part of this magnificent country on a bicycle where very few have ever been.
It is a challenging ride. You need to be fit and prepared to enjoy and get the most out of the journey.
For some, who love a good dice, it is a race and while everyone gets a time almost all will have a great time.
The Old Mutual go2berg is a rewarding journey on mountain bikes that will be the ultimate “off-road” show of this great country. We have also introduced a gravel bike route for those wanting a different challenge.
