On the weekend of 26 and 27 October
2019, Afriski Mountain Resort hosted
another great edition of the Snow+Rock
Enduro motorcycle event. The recent
warmer weather put paid to any last
vestiges of winter snow, there were more
than enough rocks on the route to make
this a rewarding and challenging event
for participants of novice, intermediate
and advanced skill levels.
This partnership between
Afriski and Wild West Enduro
Track delivered an event that –
to judge from all the feedback
received – was perfectly pitched
to offer a balance of serious
riding challenges and family fun.
The setting for Snow+Rock -
high in Lesotho’s stunning Maluti
Mountains – provided unique
riding and exceptional views
across the Mountain Kingdom.
The altitude and rocky nature
of the routes for the event are
not dissimilar to that which will
be encountered at the iconic
Motul Roof of Africa. This added
an extra dimension for many
of the Advanced riders, who
relished the additional training
opportunity with the Roof only
weeks away.
Intermediate riders got to
experience the satisfaction of
pushing themselves and their
motorcycles that little bit harder
than usual, and the Novice riders
could revel in that wonderfully
invigorating blend of pride and
relief that comes at the end of
any outride in Lesotho.
