Braving the elements, supporting the riders and bringing home a podium finish!
Alzu Tour de Farm 2026
Big Dutchman South Africa joined the action at the Alzu Tour de Farm MTB & Festival on 7 November 2026, and what a day it turned out to be!
Our day started early with a team breakfast braai at Water Point 9, giving everyone a chance to enjoy some good food, catch up and get ready for the riders to arrive.
The weather, however, had other plans! Between the freezing temperatures, strong winds and rain, it was certainly not the warm and sunny day we had hoped for. But a little bad weather wasn’t going to stop us. The team stuck it out, kept spirits high and made sure the riders received a warm welcome as they passed through.
Positioned at the 35km and 70km split, our water point offered riders a chance to take a breather, grab some refreshments and recharge before continuing their ride. We also set up a dedicated repair station, giving riders a helping hand with any bike troubles along the way. After all, we wanted to make sure they could get back on the route and enjoy the rest of the event!
And to top it all off, we were thrilled to take home 3rd place for Best Water Point!
A big thank you to everyone who helped put the water point together and made the day such a success. From the early morning breakfast braai to braving the weather, helping riders and cheering them on, it was a real team effort.
We had a great time supporting the event, spending time together and being part of such a fantastic community gathering.
Congratulations to all the riders who took part, and thank you to the Alzu Tour de Farm team for putting together another great event. We had a fantastic day, made some great memories and are already looking forward to the next one!
Until next time, Alzu Tour de Farm! 🧡
