Dates for 2008 Nedbank Swaziland's Imvelo MTB Classic have been announced!

This is a great event to look forward to - some of the best riding available anywhere, and really is suitable for novices to MTB junkies. Great terrain and spectacular scenery - the classic is quite a lungbuster mind you...
I gather the entries are to be limited this year and I know acommodation is already being booked - so get in now and be there.
Newsflash! Newsflash! Newsflash! Newsflash!
