Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>TOMORROW, 202 riders will embark on the second annual Ride the Ridges, an exciting mountain bike event organised by PSG and the Capricorn Group.<\/p>\n

Excitement is growing for this epic mountain bike adventure on the beautiful scenic ridges surrounding Windhoek, which are lush green after good rains.<\/p>\n

The organisers aim to deliver a world-class MTB trail event, offering a unique experience for riders around the capital city.<\/p>\n

The inaugural event last year set the bar very high on every level, and organisers are pulling out all the stops for this year’s edition.<\/p>\n

\u201cCapricorn Group is proud of its partnership with PSG in hosting this unique three-day race. Our vision is to grow the Ride the Ridges event annually, offering even more riders this opportunity to access and explore the beautiful scenery around the ridges of Windhoek,\u201d said Marlize Horn, the Capricorn Group’s executive for brand and corporate affairs.<\/p>\n

The three-day journey will comprise three stages, starting and ending at Heja Lodge, with the first stage offering an easy introduction to the weekend. Riders will depart at 15h00 tomorrow, enjoying breathtaking scenery from some of the highest mountains surrounding Windhoek.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the second stage will take the riders on one of the highest ridge lines in Namibia – a flowing jeep track, spread out over three privately owned farms and restricted access land.<\/p>\n

The last stage, on Sunday, has a shorter route through the scenic Las Vegas Namibia camp.<\/p>\n

\u201cPSG Namibia is so excited to be involved again this year in the Ride the Ridges event. As a financial services group, we understand the importance of physical health and the value it brings to a balanced life,\u201d said PSG Namibia director Brian van Rensburg.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe event takes place in the beautiful scenery of Namibia, and we believe that being in nature and participating in outdoor activities is a great way to stay healthy and maintain a positive mindset. We are honoured to support events that align with our values.\u201d<\/p>\n

After each day of riding, all the mountain bikes will be cared for by the Cycletec technicians in the Tech Zone and stored safely for the next day while riders enjoy complimentary food and drinks, live music, and good vibes.<\/p>\n
