Stellenbosch MTB Challenge? Make a Wellness Weekend Retreat of it!

Posted on Tue May 21, 2019 in Events near De Zeven .

For some, getting out of bed in winter can be a mountainous task by itself. Others will choose to literally head for the mountains and conquer the Stellenbosch MTB Challenge! If this sounds like you, why not mark down the weekend of 27 and 28 July in your winter diary, and let us help you create a specialised Wellness Weekend Retreat.

On Saturday and Sunday Spier will once again host one of South Africa’s largest one-day MTB and Trail Running events. Family and friends can enjoy live music, food trucks, face painting and of course wine tasting while supporting contestants in the dazzling winter sunshine. If trail running is your thing, you could choose between routes ranging from 7 - 20km.

If two wheels are your preferred means of travel, you can explore the Winelands on either a 20km or 50km route, both of which will have water points and bike maintenance checks along the way.                                                                                                                                                   After picking up your first place trophy and enjoying celebratory drinks, let us take care of you back at De Zeven. Kick off those shoes and just relax in our on-premises sauna. Perhaps a massage treatment overlooking the Hottentots Holland Mountains is just what you need? Lastly, slip into soft cotton sheets and drift off into a cool, relaxed sleep knowing that you have accomplished something wonderful, explored mother nature, and taken the utmost care of your body and mind.
