Relive the 2025 M&G Investments PE PLETT #KeepTheCadence
Welcome to South Africa’s most diverse stage race.
As we look forward to the 2026 edition of the M&G Investments PE Plett, we have decided to stick to the same formula as in 2025 — following the same direction, starting from St Francis Links in St Francis Bay, covering over 280 km along the famous Garden Route, and finishing four days later at Nature’s Valley Rest Camp. We believe this approach worked exceptionally well, beginning with the toughest day and gradually easing as the event progressed.
Whether you’re chasing personal bests and racing flat-out or simply riding for the love of mountain biking, soaking in the beauty of the Garden Route with no pressure — this is a spectacular journey you won’t want to miss! Entries are limited to 250 riders across both The Ride and The Tour.
2 Ways to Ride in 2026
The Ride
The “Original” event with timekeeping, results, and a fixed start time. Designed for those who are chasing personal bests and keen on racing flat-out.
The Tour
The exact same route and villages as “The Ride”, with no start time or results. Designed for those simply riding for the love of mountain biking with no pressure.
