To Hell & Back MTB Stage Race Sport and Outdoor | | Description: Registration on the 17th starts at 05h30 and ends at 06h30 and the race starts at 07h00. On the 18th Race starts at 07h00 and Prize Giving at 13h00. Due to the limited accommodation and facilities in The Hell, Cape Nature has placed a limit on the number of participants allowed to enter. Entries are processed on a first come first basis and will close when capacity of 500 entries are reached. CS Lewis said that ‘the road to hell is the gradual one – the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.’ In this case, the road to the Hell is a rocky dirt road with steep slopes, sharp switchbacks, ups and downs, dropping a hair raising 3000 feet down into a valley.
This race proudly is the first MTB stage race in South Africa. The views while riding on these historic roads are extraordinary, jaw dropping and nail biting all in one. It is known as the longest mountain pass in South Africa.
The overnight stop in The Hell means everybody stays together, which makes for a great atmosphere. The uniqueness of the race village is ‘captured’ within the shear remoteness of Gamkaskloof, no electricity, no cell reception, no TV, not even radio reception.
It was in 1995 that the first To Hell and Back took place. It came about from the love of riding and to popularise The Hell. Due to limited accommodation and facilities in The Hell, only 500 participants are allowed.

Karate Kyousei National Black Belt Grading Sport and Outdoor | | Description: It is told by TueroChinen sensei that sensei Hugh Thompson was allowed by Higaonnasensei (after he has visited South Africa in 1969-71) to run his own organization (Karate-Do) in SA "without requiring direct affiliation with GojuRyu or Jundokan".
In 1972 after Chinensensei visited sensei James Rossouw in SA he got the support from Higaonna sensei to appoint sensei James Rossouw as the SA Jundokan representative. This has led to conflict between sensei Higaonna and sensei Hugh Thompson and sensei Thompson losing sensei Higaonna's blessing.
In 1982-3 some senior students of sensei Hugh Thompson broke away from Karate-Do and establish their own organizations. Amongst them were sensei Johan Roux (5th Dan) to establish Karate-Zen, sensei Jack Matthews (3rd Dan) to establish Bushido, sensei Thomas Wright (2nd Dan) to establish Goju-Kan.
On 11 December 2010 some senior students of Karate-Zen, under the leadership of sensei Johnny Toerien (6th Dan), decided to break away from the organization to establish a new organization, KARATE KYOUSEI.

Oyster Catcher Ultra Sport and Outdoor | | Description: The African Oystercatcher is a large, noisy wader, with completely black plumage, red legs and a strong broad red bill. The sexes are similar in appearance, however, females are larger and have a slightly longer beak than males. Juveniles have soft grey plumage and do not express the characteristic red legs and beak until after they fledged. The call is a distinctive loud piping, very similar to Eurasian oystercatchers. As the Eurasian oystercatcher is a migratory species they only occur as a vagrant in southern Africa, and its black-and-white plumage makes confusion impossible.

The town itself is the race village, with participants encouraged to spend a weekend enjoying the pleasures of “Eikestad”. With world class restaurants, quaint coffee shops and numerous “watering holes”, it’s an ideal place to unwind after a morning on the bike.
Starting in the stunning 336-year-old town, riders make their way to the mountains to tackle jeep track, singletrack, steep climbs and pulsating descents – everything you’d want in a two-day stage race. Legendary mountain bike spots like Jonkershoek form part of the route, while access is also granted to farms that are usually off-limits to bikes.
The main benefactor of the BUCO Origin of Trails is the Stellenbosch Trail Building Fund which is committed to further developing the trails in Stellenbosch and sealing the town’s reputation as a global mountain biking destination.

The 2017 routes included designated Enduro sections on each stage, but be warned they might not be short and they might not be all downhill… The man and woman with the fastest accumulated time on the GR300’s Enduro sections will receive a fantastic prize from ‘JBL Audio’ and the bragging rights of being crowned the GR300 Enduro King or GR300 Enduro Queen. I’m hoping this gives the riders with the technical skills, who usually come for the fun riding and the Mitchell’s beer something to target so they can show the race snakes how to really ride singletrack.

annual Clarens Fire Association Fundraising Golf Day Sport and Outdoor | | Description: The Clarens Fire Association (CFA) is a registered fire protection association in term of the Veld and Forestry Fire Act of 1998. Its members consist primarily of all the farmers who live in the area from Bethlehem to Kestell to Clarens and Fouriesburg. During last few years we have had very serious veld fires, the worst we had in decades that destroyed thousands of hectare grazing and natural vegetation. These veld fires often threatened to destroy Clarens Village and it was only due to the efforts of this association that disaster was averted. The firefighting challenges in this area are characterised by the numerous mountains and accessibility problems. The reliance of the economy in this area on farming and tourism also adds to importance of the role played by this association. The CFA is divided in 13 sectors to better manage and control fires in this very difficult and large area. Every fire brings significant cost in firefighting equipment and labour. We also operate a Working on Fire base in Clarens that assists members with the preparation of fire breaks and the suppression of fires. All of these activities are costly and make it necessary for our annual fundraising golf day to enable us to continue this voluntary work.
