”When Marc invited me to join him to ride the mountain bike routes at Tzamenkomst I was expecting some easy and boring single track through the veld with lots of jeep track. What I experienced was anything but boring trails. The trails are mostly based on natural animal tracks with some fast and flowing sections next to the river and some sections that will test your skill and climbing legs over some of the koppies on the farm. I was exposed to some of the best natural veld riding I have done in many years and if you then add the splendour of the animals that roam freely on Tzamenkomst I had a truly amazing experience. Tzamenkomst has the potential to become a wonderful mountain biking destination slap bang in the centre of South Africa.” - Johann Wykerd – Adventurer and Head Coach – Absolute Motion

Race day is coming! Get ready with our expert training tips designed to help you perform your best at the Grit2gether MTB Challenge. 🚴

Preparation Tips

5 Weeks to the event – You still have some time! Get some time in the saddle to improve your fitness. Doing at least 1 day of some 5min intervals will help you up some of those longer climbs.

4 Weeks to the event – With 1 month to the event we need to be more specific. If you can, ride as much single track as you can. Tzamenkomst’s trails are not simple open riding. You will also need to add some shorter efforts to develop some punchy power to get up and over some of the obstacles you will find.

3 Weeks to the event – Continue in the same vein as last week. If you have not finalised your nutritional strategy yet, this is a good week to ride with whatever nutritional supplement you will be using to make sure your stomach is happy with your choice.

2 Weeks to the event – This is your last week of long rides over the weekend. Continue with those short efforts and make sure your bike is in good working order

1 Week to go – DON’T STOP RIDING. Many make the mistake of stopping riding before an event. If you will do you will find yourself at the start line with a body that is in rest mode and wont go when you want to go. Keep on riding, just reduce the time. We suggest that you do at least 1 day with at least 10 x very short (10sec) all-out sprints to make sure your body remains primed for the race.

Race week – As per the previous week. Make sure you keep on riding and include 1 day with at least 5 x 10sec all-out sprints. Doing a short (45 – 60min) ride the day before the event will ensure you are ready to give your best the next day when the race start.

If you use Zwift to do your indoor training, join the Absolute Motion Cycling Club on Zwift and join them on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons for some good quality workouts that will go a long way to prepare you for the Tzamenkomst GRIT.
