<\/a><\/p>\nDevelopment is well underway as the Nedbank sani2c seeks to match their world class route with comfortable, permanent venues at the race’s start and overnight stop venues. \/\/ Photo: Supplied\/ Gameplan media<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cUpgrading and building towards permanent venues will not only give all riders a better experience but simplify things for the setup and crew as well.<\/p>\n \u201cIn essence this will allow us all more time for attention to detail, which is becoming increasingly important as the standards are raised and mountain biking becomes the \u2018new golf\u2019,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n The migrating of the race\u2019s registration and start venue to Glencairn Farm at the base of Sani Pass is something that has Haw particularly excited while the long term upgrading of the facilities at the second overnight stop at Jolivet is something he believes will add greatly to participants\u2019 overall experience.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter 10 years we will be moving the start of the Nedbank sani2c to where it was originally planned to begin, Sani Pass!\u201d enthuses an excited Glen Haw.<\/p>\n \u201cGlencairn Farm will now be the start venue for the 2015 event with registration and all other services, including bike courier collection, bike shops, car shuttles and black box hand over, to be conducted from this venue.<\/p>\n Glencairn Farm at the foot of Sani Pass is set to become the new registration and start venue of the Nedbank sani2c in 2015. \/\/ Photo: Supplied\/ Gameplan media<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis, together with the major upgrading of Jolivet that is currently underway, is a major project which will continue into 2016.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter years of squeezing into small marquees and dinning in adjoining farm sheds, we decided to level all the old buildings and erect a new kitchen and dining area.<\/p>\n \u201cThere have also been upgrades to the medical facilities, masseurs as well as the shower and toilet facilities while the Barn complex has also been revamped.<\/p>\n \u201cJolivet will be new to even the sani2c veterans in this year\u2019s field!\u201d<\/p>\n The riders themselves won\u2019t be the only ones to benefit from the projects currently underway as Nedbank sani2c organisers look to involve local communities as best and as widely as possible as projects stretch far beyond just the immediate future.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have some big changes planned in the years ahead and these long term projects will have no end but rather will continue to develop alongside our sport of mountain biking.<\/p>\n \u201cThe projects at Jolivet and Glencairn have already created job opportunities for the neighbouring rural people with close to 10000 man days having already been created in an area where employment is desperately needed!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
