2008 Event News
The inaugural Cape to Cape MTB held in late October was a huge success with mountain bike enthusiasts and those willing to 'give it a go' participating in the 4 day event. Riders negotiated over 175km of bushland, forrest, farmland and coastline from Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse to Cape Naturaliste. The field which included one of the world’s best and Cape to Cape MTB event ambassador, Australia’s Niki Gudex, braved rugged conditions in the unique event that is sure to become a regular test of endurance.

"Its not a Race....its a Ride!"
This no doubt became the catch cry for the week at the inaugural Cape to Cape MTB 2008. Event organizers fully intended for the first event to be a “ride” through the scenic south-west of WA. But once we set up a professional start and finish line then everyone wants to ride as hard as possible.
Over the week there was some fantastic riding….here is a snapshot of the highlights.
