The Journey

3 days of riding around the tribal lands of the Transkei, read below to see what is in store for you on this #EpicAdventure

3 Routes Available

Gold

This route is for those hard-enduro riders who love a little challenge and are prepared to engage in some teamwork to get home. The degree of difficulty is equivalent to a Bronze Roof rider and to jump across to the easier Silver route  is easy.  75% of the Gold and Silver are common, so you are never far from an escape.

Silver

Designed for those weekend warriors who just want to have fun. For many, this is the 1st time event and over the years we have seen our female participation in the Silver class grow. If things get a little too tough and you want to find easier options then you can jump onto the “Adventure” route for a quick way home

Adventure Bikes

This route is designed for those Adventure Bikers and would typically be suitable for the T7’s , 790’s, Africa Twin, etc but there is no reason that those skilled Adventure bikers could not tackle this route on a 1290 or 1250. It’s mostly twisty gravel roads with friendly Jeep track and single track thrown in. Covering 120 kms per day.

Day 1 | Ocean View to The Haven | 3 October

The stretch of coastline between Coffee Bay and the Haven Hotel at the Mbashee River mouth is without a doubt the finest piece of dirt bike heaven.

We initially head North up to the cliffs of Mpuzi and navigate all the way to the Mthatha River Mouth. The route then tracks all the way through the state forest to Hole in the Wall and crosses the Mbolompo River to the fishing village of Mpami and Bulls Inn where a snack lunch is on offer. It just gets better and better as we head down to the Xora River and then hug the beaches all the way past the magnificent Ntlotonyane and into the Dwesa Nature Reserve. The Haven Hotel with a lively bar and great grub is our home for the next 2 nights

Day 2 | The Haven to The Haven | 4 October

2 nights at Haven Hotel means no packing up and this makes for an easier start.

The Hotel is situated on the banks of the Mbashee River and the Mbashee valley is a playground that is second to none. Riding inland has its own set of challenges as we navigate the sled and single-track paths through each river en route. Most of the riders should be home by lunch and can spend the afternoon chilling out around the pool, the beach or having a few cold ones around the bar.

There will be options to either go Silver or Gold, so you can pick your poison and decide how much work you want to do on this day.

Day 3 | The Haven to Ocean View | 5 October

The coastal ride to Coffee Bay is certainly leaving the best for last!  Day 3  has to be the most insane day one could ever wish for on a motorcycle. It’s a day that you don’t want to race but take in the vistas and views on the grassy hills overlooking the warm Indian Ocean. The finish line on the cliffs overlooking Coffee Bay with the Red Cherry arch and a cold beer will bring this incredible journey to an end

Sea to Sea North powered by JBFE 2024… Done and Dusted! The final evening is rounded off with a medal handout and some fines. Riders then spend the night at Ocean View Hotel on the 5th and depart for home on Sunday, 6 October after breakfast.
