While most of us were in the grip of pre-Epic tension a bunch of intrepid mountain biking souls set their sights on Lesotho where the cell phone signal is patchy so there’s not much chance of being bombarded with notification regarding half the people you follow tweeting about #8DaysOfCourage. Instead they went to take part in the Rocky Mountain Festival, the latest attraction in the fast filling Mountain Biking Kingdom MTB Calendar.
The Festival involved riding amazing high altitude trails, where 15km feels like 50km, on a fleet of 2016 Rocky Mountain demo bikes. For the endurance fans there were outrides while for the gravity heads the Afriski downhill trails and ski lift assisted ascents beckoned.
