CURRENT EVENTS
The “CABC” started off as the Cederberg Adventure Bike Challenge, organized by Hennie Lowe in 2008. It was a 4 day event for Adventure bikes. The annual event moved locations and the name changed to the Cape Adventure Bike Challenge when it moved into other regions of the Western Cape.
In 2020 Garden Route Motorcycles came on board as Main Sponsor and Johann van Tonder, previous event media liaison, became co-coordinator with the view to take over from Hennie Lowe as he planned to emigrate. Johann van Tonder (Trailrider Media Events) became sole owner and organizer in 2021 and it was decided to focus was on smaller events and challenges that local riders could do in their own time, keeping them busy and looking forward to some great prizes all year. And while the Cape Adventure Bike Challenge is very much focused on Adventure Bikes, the other challenges and events included all bike types.
The aim of the events and challenges were to get bikers to do what bikers love most: get out there and ride. Several new challenges were born and most of these challenges had both Tar and Gravel options. Our Challenges take bikers to places and venues right in our own back yard that they might not even have known about. The prizes are nothing to sniff at either and include everything from biking related products to chopper flips and all expenses paid weekends away.
Keep your eyes on the CABC web pages – there is always a challenge ongoing or a new event to be revealed soon!
“I can not tell you the wonderful feeling of being on that machine. I ride because there is nothing quite like it in the world. And I could never imagine not doing it.”
