Berg & Bush Trail Riders' Dream

The Grindrod Bank Berg & Bush takes riders through some of the best scenery and along some of the most incredible trails of South Africa. Starting at Sternfontein Dam, the Great Trek and Descent takes riders on a winding journey off the escapement and into the bushveld. With a team dedicated to creating a fun experience on and off the bike, the Berg & Bush is the ideal mountain bike getaway. 

If you’re looking for a special adventure on your mountain bike, then look no further than the Grindrod Bank Berg & Bush. The Descent, Great Trek and original 2 Day all take place in October this year, and once again the team has been working hard to prepare trails that increase thrills and limit spills.

With an intimate knowledge of the surrounding area, race organiser Gary Green is constantly tweaking the bushveld bliss of his three-day stage race (and the 2 Day).

This year, new developments include an upgraded Long drop Pass down Spioenkop built by Rob Dormehl of Garden Route Trail Park - and rejuvenated berms on the famous Bell Run. At present, there are also new single track routes being built and added to the event’s trail grail day two. This is a ride that truly is the Holy Trail of mountain biking.
