Sure, TREAD is available at almost 300 retail outlets countrywide, but there’s just something special about getting a copy of every issue in your post box. We’ve increased the frequency from 2010 to alternate monthly, so a one-year (six-issue) subscription will cost you R185. But don’t see it as a cost, see it as an investment in a high quality source of information and inspiration. Each issue is filled with real South African mountain biking content that’s relevant and realistic (no place for idealism here).

THE PRIZE
Our fantastic NEW subscriber competition will be revealed by Friday 7 May 2010! All new subscribers in the interim will be entered for our mystery new prize.

Our lucky subscriber that won the Gold Rush Experience and Strides 5 bike trailer as per below, is Mike Harker from Musgrave. Congratulations Mike.

WIN a cool mountain bike trip worth R42000 for you and five mates on the Gold Rush Experience! The Gold Rush Experience in the Mount Anderson Reserve, near Lydenburg, boasts some of the best singletrack riding in South Africa. It is a land of rugged valleys with crystal streams that reflect vulture-spotted skies. Sunbirds sip from red poker aloes and eland, zebra and black wildebeest gather on mountain slopes while the bark of baboons echo off cliff faces.  Singletrack weaves up to alpine heights, down winding forested valleys, along dramatic quartzite escarpments and over rocky crests. The Gold Rush is exhilarating all-mountain riding. You’ll be accommodated in the Golden Cottage, a comfortably home from home that caters for six guests in three double en-suite rooms. All rides are guided and all meals are provided. ITINERARY FRIDAY: Arrive in the afternoon. Settle in and sip sundowners on the terrace. SATURDAY: Light breakfast, ride the Spekboom Trail ending with a picnic lunch at Spekboom Dam. Return by vehicle to the Golden Cottage mid afternoon. Possibly a short night ride after dinner. SUNDAY: Light breakfast, ride the Kranskloof Trail ending with picnic lunch at the Kranskloof Dam. Return by vehicle to the Cottage mid afternoon. Pack up and depart.   Note: Both rides are about 30km long and take about five hours, depending on skills level. On a technical scale the rides are 3.5–4 out 5, but each ride is very relaxed with frequent stops. The night ride will be about two hours in duration.
