It is hard to believe that one of the first bicycles to endure hard terrain stemmed from the 1800s, when the Buffalo soldiers used a modified bicycle for off road purposes. And, in 1891 the Swiss had its first bicycle regiment. Mountain Biking has come a long way since then.
Of course, in today's era, apart from a range of mountain bikes to choose from, there is also a range of events to participate in. One of these is Western Australia's largest mountain bike stage race called the
Cape to Cape MTB , which covers 220 km over the course of 4 days.
Riders will start in Augusta (23 October 2014) and finish in Dunsborough (26 October 2014). A MTBA (Mountain Bike Association) Number is a requirement (which can be purchased for the duration of the events). Therefore, anyone who has some mountain biking experience under the belt can enter into this event even if they have not become of member of the MTBA yet. The entry fee for the four day event is $440.00.
Entries close on 9 October 2014, or when numbers reach maximum capacity. With a handsome amount of prize money to be won, this is probably one of the top mountain biking events of the year. And to add, would be a great event to watch in the home of Western Australian wine lands.
