Origin of Trails boasts a new finish venue

The organizers of the Pennypinchers Origin Of Trails are excited to welcome Blaauwklippen Wine Estate as the new finish venue of this much anticipated two day mountain bike (MTB) stage race. Affectionately dubbed the MTB party of the year, the event celebrates its 3rd anniversary at the end of November.

According to Nanette Cloete, Blaauwklippen Groups & Events Manager, Blaauwklippen is the ideal destination for guests wanting to spend a day with family and friends. “We are really excited to be hosting the Pennypinchers Origin Of Trails. Activities to enjoy at Blaauwklippen include wine tastings, cellar tours, brandy tastings, visiting our market and lunch at our restaurant. Mountain bikers can look forward to experiencing all our facilities, enjoying good food and good wine while relaxing on our lush green lawns after a tough day out on the Origin of Trails route.”

“We’re excited to welcome riders to the finish line at Blaauwklippen Wine Estate after both stages of the Pennypinchers Origin Of Trails,” says Alexa Cunningham, Event Manager. “Surrounded by vineyards, Blaauwklippen’s serene atmosphere is sure to have a calming effect on all visitors. There is plenty to do for the whole family including pony rides and a petting zoo for children and wine tasting for adults. What better way to end off the MTB season, than with family and friends, surrounded by mountain bikes and eating great food on a wine farm in one of the most beautiful towns in the world.”
