We\u2019re excited to host the event in Autumn, the milder weather conditions and spectacular Autumn colours are sure to add to the experience. We cannot wait to welcome riders to the Savanna Origin of Trails MTB Experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSavanna is proud to be the title sponsor of SA\u2019s MTB Party of the Year,\u201d says Kavir Gangiah, Media, Sponsorship and Events Manager Distell Southern Africa. \u201cUnapologetically bold, just like Savanna, the event highlights the fun side of mountain biking – no pressure, only exciting routes and magnificent views. It\u2019s a party from start to finish. We look forward to once again being part of the action and cannot wait to refresh riders with ice cold Savannas both on route and at the finish.\u201d<\/p>\n
