The concept came about around a campfire on one of EcoBound’s excursions into the mountains for some much needed family time.
Imagine olde-worlde travel – like scenes from an Agatha Christy novel – meeting full-on fat tyre funk. Your journey will be all about a cross-country voyage, combining craft beer, camaraderie, comfort and good food for the ultimate in good times.
We especially selected the Premier Classe Train (with that extra ‘e’) for this amazing journey of discovery. It’s a little bit like traveling in Business Class, but just with way more leg-room, plus the opportunity to explore a whole bunch of mountain biking routes along the way.
Your ‘Ecobound Bike Train’ will depart on the #RideTheRail Adventure from Johannesburg Station on May 28th, 2017 as you set off across the South African interior. Seven days later – on June 3nd, 2017, you will finally steam into your destination – Cape Town Station – with a massive smile on your face.
There will be suffering: flutes of champagne when you arrive at the Premier Classe Lounge; friendly staff assisting you with bikes and luggage; gourmet cuisine in the Dining Saloon; chilling with your mates in the Bar or Lounge Car while the endless Karoo plains flash past your windows … not to mention an MTB experience par excellence! Remember this train can only accommodate 150 riders, you better hurry to book your spot.
