<\/a><\/p>\nThe 2021 CCPP Group Dr Evil Classic is set to take place on the Heritage Day long weekend – from Thursday 23rd to Saturday 25th of September. Riders will once again be treated to three days of exceptionally scenic Garden Route mountain biking with each stage starting and finishing in a unique location near Plettenberg Bay.<\/p>\n
The opening stage and registration will once again be hosted by the Plettenberg Bay Game Reserve, where big game sightings are guaranteed in the early and final kilometres of the stage. Stage 1 is the longest and arguably the most challenging of the race at 71 kilometres in length with 1 400 meters of climbing \u2013 but the views over the foothills of the Outeniqua Mountains more than make up for any difficulties.<\/p>\n
Stage 2 starts and finishes on the manicured fields of the Kurland Hotel and Polo Estate. The second day\u2019s route is a manageable 45 kilometres in length and includes 980 meters of climbing though plantations and indigenous forests. In 2019, ten kilometres of new singletrack was added to the final section of the day\u2019s route and 2021 riders can expect that number to increase as Kurland continues to add to their trail network.<\/p>\n The final stage of the race is hosted by the Cairnbrogie Farm and boasts the area\u2019s best singletracks. Coastal and forest trails make up the bulk of the 51-kilometre route which takes in 800 meters of climbing through the Harkerville Forest section of the Garden Route National Park.<\/p>\n Entries to the 2021 CCPP Group Dr Evil Classic are open and the entry packages include dinner at registration on Wednesday the 22nd of September, as well as lunches on all three race days. Supporter meal tickets can be purchased for non-riding guests too, which helps make the Dr Evil Classic a family friendly event.<\/p>\n Record number of entries recorded as riders set goals for September 2021 One hundred percent of the cyclists who entered the 2020 version of the event, migrated their entries to the 2021 edition. Entries to the event opened on the 21st September 2020 and a record number of entries were recorded in 24 hours.
