2 ways to ride the same loved event in 2026 (19 – 22 February)
The Ride
The Ride is the original M&G PE PLETT, a four-day mountain biking event that combines thrilling biking, excellent accommodation, and top-notch glamping. This year marks our 12th anniversary, and the M&G Investments PE PLETT experience continues to gain popularity.
For some participants, it’s a race, while for others, it’s simply a chance to enjoy the ride. The 2026 edition offers a revised route, starting in Mentorskraal, with one night at Assegaaibosch, two nights in Tsitsikamma, and a finish at the beautiful Nature’s Valley.
The Tour
The Tour follows the exact same route and offers the same amenities.
However, it provides a more relaxed experience with open-start chutes, opportunities to enjoy lunch breaks along the way, and no timed starts. This means you can make it an all-day affair without feeling pressured. The Tour doesn’t have winners or podiums; instead, it allows you to fully immerse yourself in the paradise of mountain biking.
Both analogue and E-bikes are welcome as we set off from Mentorskraal.
