GREYTON OUTRIDE WEEKEND

What is an Outride? 

It is a non-timed event where a group of riders get to ride MTB trails with a back-up vehicle that provides stops with food & drink on the trails.  A very social day/weekend - perfect opportunity to meet fellow riders and share your passion of mountain biking.  Next outride taking place in the beautiful town of Greyton in the Overberg!
