PEPlett – 4 day Mountain Bike stage race between Port Elizabeth and Plettenberg bay –
Its more than a ride … its an Adventure!
The 2nd year of PE PLETT and year one for Isuzu Trucks as title sponsor was a resounding success and the strapline “ The Tough One” says it all . Many referred to the event as the “Mini Epic” and is the perfect playground to test your MTB skill and fitness.
The commitment by Craig Uren COO of Isuzu Trucks to a minimum of 3 years is exciting and we expect PE PLETT to grow from strength to strength
