<\/a><\/p>\nDryland Ride tour offers full vehicle support, leaving you to focus on riding your mountain bike in amazing places.<\/span><\/p>\n The joint venture combines the event credentials of Dryland Event Management, a leading mountain bike and trail-running event company, and Bhejane 4×4 Adventures, an organisation that guides 4×4 self-drive experiences in Southern Africa, to add another level to the mountain biking experience \u2013 touring.<\/p>\n The mountain bike tours will have access to exclusive routes in the areas that Dryland utilises for its highly successful mountain biking and trail running events as well as certain concessions Bhejane holds in South Africa and neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n \u201cThe aim of Dryland Ride is to provide the tourist with an alternative to a mountain bike race, with the same thrill, at half the pace. The whole family can now enjoy the ride together. We\u2019re putting adventure back into mountain biking, because we feel that its been gradually minimised by the seriousness of racing,\u201d said Henco Rademeyer of Dryland Event Management.<\/p>\n Most accommodation is in guest houses or hotels, but where tented accommodation is needed, Dryland Ride ensures you’ll sleep on a comfortable mattress with real linen.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBy partnering with Bhejane 4×4 Adventures, we\u2019re able to combine our knowledge of the mountain biking market with their experience in organising adventure tours. We feel that there\u2019s a growing number of South African mountain bikers that want to enjoy multi-day riding experiences in beautiful places, but without the pressure and rigidity of a stage race. Dryland Ride packages will offer just that,\u201d added Rademeyer.<\/p>\n Dryland Ride has also established a partnership with Weg and go!, South Africa\u2019s leading adventure and travel magazine.<\/p>\n \u201cWeg and go! is the largest travel magazine in South Africa, and we\u2019ve built our success on the trust our readers have for us. We travel like they do, pay our own way like they do, and we do the things that they want to do, and then write honestly about our experiences so they can emulate them. When we put our name and reputation behind something or partner with someone, like we\u2019ve done with the guys from Dryland Ride, we\u2019re satisfied that our readers are going to love these very special tours,\u201d said Pierre Steyn, editor-in-chief of Weg and go! magazine.<\/p>\n Dryland Ride offers three wholesome meals a day, with lunch stops being in some of the most remote parts of Southern Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cOur readers are adventurous and they love the outdoors. They\u2019re increasingly interested in the kind of experience that the Dryland Ride offers them, which is why we\u2019ve been involved in the conceptualising of the itinerary from the outset. We\u2019ve done the routes and we know it\u2019s something readers can enjoy \u2013 challenging yet attainable and fun,\u201d said Steyn.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a logical next step for us to be working together with Dryland. They\u2019ve got the respect and attention of the South African mountain bike market and we\u2019ve got the experience and access to bring mountain bikers close to nature in a non-competitive environment,\u201d said Frank Carlisle, founder and owner of Bhejane 4×4 Adventures.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
