Daar’s Afrikaans… en dan is daar Hazeldean Afrikaans.

Dis stof op jou tekkies ná ’n trail run.
Dis kinders wat op die plaas rondhardloop.
Dis ’n koue craft bier op die gras.
Dis lang tafels, goeie kos, ’n braai iewers in die agtergrond en mense wat sommer nog ’n bietjie langer bly kuier.

Dis nie noodwendig oor hoe jy praat nie.
Dis oor hoe jy leef.

Hierdie nuwe liedjie, “Meer Afrikaans As Jy” – Craig Sidler, het ons sommer dadelik aan Hazeldean laat d**k.

Sit hom hard. 🔊
En kom kuier bietjie op die plaas.

"Meer Afrikaans As Jy" is 'n ligte, humoristiese liedjie wat my eie...

What makes the annual Hazeldean Mountain Bike Race 2026 so special?

𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒚. If you're a regular at Hazeldean Valley Trails, this experience will be quite different even for you: many of the routes will be ridden in reverse plus you'll ride on parts of the farm normally closed to the public.

𝑳𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕 to beat the frosty morning chill.

Quality 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒔 along the routes.

Photographers along the way to capture your action.

Quality 𝒎𝒆𝒅𝒂𝒍 to all finishers.

Epic vibe at the finish line with some 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒄, great craft beer at Hazeldean Brewing Co., exhibitors and more.

If you're a racing snake: go for the 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚 sponsored by Craft Homes - it will be worth your while. But if you prefer to enjoy the 𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘𝒔 along the way then take your time... the beer will still be cold.

See you there! 𝑺𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒂𝒚 18 𝑱𝒖𝒍𝒚 2026.
