The Houw Hoek Tour is a non-competitive 2 day MTB stage event. The objective is to give MTB’s and newcomers to multi-stage events (NOT NEWCOMERS TO MTB) the opportunity to enjoy a weekend of scenic, fun and non-competitive riding. However, make sure that you are fit as each of the two stages are approximately 50 km, mostly on gravel roads (including jeep and single tracks) and that you can and love riding single tracks.
The Houw Houk Tour gives you the opportunity to cycle some of the W2W routes and trails. The Tour aims to let you explore and experience what a multi-stage event is all about and offers a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. Only STRAVA timing is done.
