402 Spur Adventurers rocked up at the 10th anniversary of this series of ” Spur Adventures Sprints” at Lourensford Wine Estate, Somerset West. With clear skies they set off on their mountain bikes to experience the solitude, vistas and dirt tracks unique to these Helderberg mountains.
The 12km circuit brought them back to the start and transition where they left the bikes, donned their trail shoes and set off on a 2.5km trail adventure with numerous natural obstacles including a water crossing with tubes and ropes before returning to the start and transition area.
Whilst the short course teams now finished, the long course teams repeated this sequence once more. In the meantime, Peter Statham from Quantum Adventures Crew, lead a band of Spur “Bush Kid” adventurers along their own adventure trail which lasted an hour. They faced their own obstacles out in Nature and finished of in spectacular fashion – climbing up a cargo net and sliding down a 3m high inflatable obstacle. Back at the venue; families, friends and other supporters soaked in the Spur Adventure vibe and encouraged the teams as they moved in and out of the transition area.
The next Spur Adventure in this series takes place at Oak Valley Estate on 4 December when teams will be wearing fancy dress, clown suits, painted faces and other wacky outfits – the Spur “JOLLY JESTER” Adventure sprint!
