The Wartrail & New England area in the Eastern Cape Drakensberg bordering Lesotho, is fast becoming a popular destination for adventure-bikers, scrambler & quad riders. Also known as "The Wild Side of the Drakensberg this area has challenging mountainous terrain, well-maintained farm tracks endless, unfenced riding terrain. Snow Valley Adventures specialize in guided biking packages and have advertised the area extensively to the South African biking fraternity.

The organisers have responded to the need, both locally & nationally, for a well-organised biking event that promises the biker a fun, yet challenging ride in a safe & secure environment with unlimited riding terrain. This will be the 2nd Annual bike rally organised by Chris Isted of Snow Valley Adventures, and the organisers envisage that this event will soon become recognised nationally on the biking calendar.

This type of event is organised with the communities of Wartrail, New England, Dangershoek & Upper Telle, involving the local people who will benefit financially through the provision of food & drinks for the riders, as well as accommodation needed over the weekend. Bikers are encouraged to bring their families along who can enjoy the other exciting activities in the area if they are not riding.
