Race Report 2009
Pietermaritzburg¹s Brandon Stewart finally shed his bridesmaid tag when he cruised to a deceptively big victory ahead of a huge field in the Sunday Tribune Jeep Hill 2 Hill Mountain Bike Marathon from Hilton to Hillcrest yesterday. (SUNDAY) Stewart, who had two seconds and a third to his name going in to this prestigious race through the hills between Pietermaritzburg and Durban, finally secured the victory that eluded him in previous years when Burry Stander was grabbing the headlines with three wins from three starts.

105KM Route Overview

There are four Sunday Tribune Jeep Hill 2 Hill races – the main race is about 100km and starts in Hilton, a 40km race starts at Cato Ridge and follows the last 40 kilometres of the main race, and then two short kids races in the Shongweni Polo Club grounds.

The good news for cyclists in the 100km race is the race is just under 100km in 2009, but while the final heart-breaking hill from 2008 has been removed (a hill which had riders climbing a final ascent while within earshot of the festivities at the finish), the race is still not a walk in the park and the key to enjoying the event is to pace yourself.

40KM Route Overview
For the shorter race, Cato Ridge is only the start of their journey, but for the longer riders the water point provides the knowledge that the race is more than half over. The next 10kms are pretty easy riding with a minor climb to the highway crossing with lots of nice, gentle downhills, firstly along some cattle paths soon after crossing the N3, and then a fast gentle descent next to the railway line. Watch for the sharp left turn to cross the disused railway tracks and the underpass under the N3 … then the fun starts.

Race Rules

It is in the spirit of self-contained, self-reliant backcountry cycling that Mountain Bike competition events are conducted. The rules have been kept simple to preserve the basic essence of mountain biking and avoiding unnecessary requirements.

Firstly, riders must complete the entire distance of the race and the responsibility for following the official route lies with the rider.

Secondly, a rider is not permitted to take any shortcuts or to omit a circuit or take other advantage of a similar nature against opponents.
