The joBerg2c (also known under current sponsorship as the Old Mutual joBerg2c) is the longest paired mountain biking stage race in South Africa. It takes place over nine days and covers approximately 900 kilometres (exact distances vary from year to year) from Heidelberg in Gauteng to Scottburgh on the KwaZulu-Natal coast. ==Race Overview== joBerg's organising team is led by Craig Wapnick, Gary Green and Glen Haw. Green and Haw are responsible for the successful Berg and Bush and sani2c mountain bike stage races respectively. The middle and last three days of the Old Mutual joBerg2c trace the same course as these two events. The event is fully serviced – each of the two-person teams is allocated a tent and three meals per day at the eight overnight stops or race villages. Additional services such as massage therapists and bike mechanics are also available. An innovation introduced in the 2012 race is the solo entry, aimed at riders who prefer to complete the event without a teammate, or who have difficulty finding one. Furthermore, top tier amateur and semi-pro riders can now apply for sponsorship on the condition that they are serious contenders for the main prize purse. This is aimed at developing talent in the cycling community, especially riders from a previously disadvantaged background.There are also a number of entries available for media representatives. The voice of cycling, Tour de France commentator Phil Liggett, has ridden both the inaugural and second events as a celebrity guest. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「JoBerg2c」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
