What you should know about ECOBOUND TOURS & TRAVELS

Travel in George

EcoBound is a family of enthusiastic individuals that are passionate about mountain biking and the outdoors! They share a united love for all aspects of this sport. The creator, Wikus van Der Walt, started EcoBound in 1996 from his combined love for cycling and the outdoors. Since then Wikus and his family have organized prestige events like South Africa’s first Mountain Bike Stage race; The To Hell and Back. This event forms an important part of the history of mountain biking in this country and is over two decades old. Known as the toughest single stage race in SA, it attracts so many riders that a second event follows on the subsequent weekend. EcoBound’s success is attributed to all of the combined ideas and input of each member. They strive to create unique and extraordinary events, always maintaining that personal touch. They are known for their one-of-a-kind events and their passionate attitude for this lifestyle. The Big Year is an informal MTB event in the sense that there is no start or finish line with grand displays of banners and flags. The event that takes place all over SA and consists of carefully selected mountain bike trails in each province. The aim for riders is to see how many of these trails they can ride in ONE year. Simply put, it is the original and toughest single stage race in the world! Twenty-five kilometres long and half-a-kilometre wide, the valley was once home to a thriving community of self-sustaining farmers whose only access to the outside world was a sketchy bridle path on the western end of the Gamkaskloof and the rugged Gamkapoort itself. It remains the only road, and its twisty hairpins form the route for the infamous there-and-back two-day sojourn that is the To Hell & Back Extreme MTB Tour. Taking a look at behind the scenes of our tour and what this beautiful country of ours has to offer. Lukas and his cousin Maia, are the latest additions to the EcoBound family. Lukas has no choice but to come along on the adventures. The evening at Bike & Brew was very successful with a whopping 60 odd people showing up to come and listen to what we had to say about the event. The attendance at these talks weren’t great in typical Natal fashion. We expected only some sugar cane gravel roads, but the trails there was fantastic and we had great fun!
