Fri 7 – Tue 11 May 2027 · Sea to Sea South
A 3-day navigational team enduro, taking riders on a round trip through the tribal lands of the Transkei of South Africa. Staying at Trennerys Hotel (Seagulls) and Kob Inn.
JBFE Sea to Sea is designed for the social enduro rider who wants to experience the Wild Coast and be part of an Epic Adventure.
You don’t need a backup driver. The team from Red Cherry Events handles all of it. We take teams of 2 to 25 riders, and hotels are where you sleep every night.
It’s not a race. The challenge is to get through the 3 days together with your partner. For safety there are checkpoints on the route and time bars in place. Keep a steady pace, stop for a pic or two, and you’ll get in safely and in time.
It’s only suitable for enduro bikes, preferably with an electric start. The Adventure route takes the big adventure bikes.
Grassy cliffs, river mouths, empty beaches and the warm Indian Ocean. Three days of it, by dirt bike.
Same recipe, two stretches of coast. Around 60 teams navigate by GPS from hotel to hotel, do an out-ride on Day 2 with options to go Mild or Wild, and ride a new route back on Day 3.
7–11 May 2027

See NorthThree routes to choose from each day: Gold, Silver or Adventure. Go Wild or keep it Mild.
For hard-enduro riders who love a little challenge and are ready for some teamwork to get home. The difficulty is about the level of a Bronze Roof rider. Jumping across to the easier Silver route is easy: 75% of Gold and Silver is shared, so you’re never far from an escape.
For many riders this is their first event, and every year more women ride Silver. Riders on 65s with long-range tanks take it on too. If things get a little too tough, jump onto the Adventure route for a quick way home.
Built for the T7, 790 and Africa Twin. Skilled riders could tackle it on a 1290 or 1250. Mostly twisty gravel roads, with friendly jeep track and single track thrown in. About 120 km a day.
Navigate the river crossings, the deep valleys and the remote trails that define this part of South Africa.
Truly a hassle-free experience. You ride. We do the rest.
No camping. Hotels only, every night.
Sweeps, medics and recovery vehicles on route, with full medical backup and chopper standby.
The team moves your fuel from water point to water point each day.
No support driver needed. Your bags are waiting in your room when you arrive.
Breakfast, lunch and supper, with the water points set up and manned by the Red Cherry team.
A jacket and T-shirt for every entry in before the race-pack cut-off.
A goodie bag at registration and a finisher’s medal on the last night.
On the finish line, every day.
JBFE Sea to Sea South starts and finishes at Trennerys Hotel (Seagulls), with two nights at Kob Inn in the middle.
You don’t need a backup driver of your own. The Red Cherry team handles it all. A typical day goes like this.
Every year a big group of youngsters ride JBFE Sea to Sea with their dads.
We now take riders on 65s with long-range fuel tanks on the Silver routes. That means dads and their lads, usually 10 years old and up, can take this on with ease.
We make special arrangements to move fuel to points on the route, so every bike can make it through the roughly 80 km each day.
