<\/a>Despite the exciting trails that riders can expect for the 2016 BSi Steel dusi2c they can also expect some of Farmer Glen’s trusty curve balls that make the mountain biking experience even more entertaining when the race gets underway from 11-12 June. Anthony Grote\/ Gameplan Media<\/span><\/p>\nIn his bid to retain the event\u2019s distinct character, Haw doesn\u2019t foresee many changes occurring to the route, or any other elements of the race, as the event\u2019s popularity suggests that the organisers have got the balance right over the past three years.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think that we are going to make many changes to the route this year at all,\u201d Haw mentioned. \u201cWe have made sure over the years that there are some curve balls for riders and some of those, and a few new ones, will be back this year but at the end of the day the race is all about the riding experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe race will continue to follow very closely to the banks of the uMsundusi and uMngeni Rivers and we feel that the riders appreciate the course that they ride,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The team that are responsible for clearing the track and setting up the overnight stop at the Mfula Store are all members of the local Valley of a Thousand Hills community, something Haw takes pride in.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe race is really unique in the fact that the community do all the work \u2013 from clearing the trails to making the trophies, putting up tents to cleaning the overnight stop \u2013 they are heavily involved and that is something that we appreciate as we aim to give back to the rural communities along the route.<\/p>\n
