The CAPE ADVENTURE BIKE CHALLENGES (CABC) is the ever changing, ever evolving event for real Adventures who like to challenge themselves whether that be with Bikes or even 4x4s!

The “CABC” started off as the Cederberg Adventure Bike Challenge, organized by Hennie Lowe in 2008. It was a 4 day event for Adventure bikes complete with Red, Orange and Green route outrides, skill challenges on laid out courses, the works. The annual event moved locations and the name changed to the Cape Adventure Bike Challenge when it moved to Uhuru (the current Karoowater) in the Klein Karoo.

In 2020 Johann van Tonder, previous event media liaison, became co-coordinator with the view to take over from Hennie Lowe as he planned to emigrate. Johann van Tonder (Trailrider Media Events) became sole owner and organizer in 2021.

Smaller events and challenges were added in 2022 under the CABC brand that kept the local bikers busy and looking forward to some great prizes all year. And while the Cape Adventure Bike Challenge is very much focused on Adventure Bikes, the other challenges and events included all bike types and even evolved to include 4×4 vehicles.
