The Dr. Evil Experience

📣 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: 𝐃𝐫 𝐄𝐯𝐢𝐥 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐝

We’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the 2025 Dr Evil Experience 3-Day Stage Race.

After moving the event from September to December based on rider feedback, entries for the new date have unfortunately been too low to deliver the standard of experience we’re known for. Rather than compromise on quality, we’ve chosen to pause for now.

All 2025 entrants will receive a full refund via Entry Ninja.

We’d like to extend our thanks to:
💛 Our loyal sponsors, whose support has made it all possible over the years.
🌿 Our beautiful venues in Plettenberg Bay, which have provided a base for some incredible trails.
🙌 The dedicated people behind the scenes who have brought the Experience to life each year.
🚵‍♀️ And most importantly, our amazing cyclists who have shared the Dr Evil journey with us since 2012.

Thank you for being part of the Dr Evil family — it’s been an unforgettable ride.

Hannes and Muriel first joined the Dr Evil Experience in 2021 “just after Covid” — and haven’t really left since! Even when they didn’t ride in 2024, they still showed up for the vibes (and the beer 🍻).⁣
⁣
They travel 1,200km from Kathu in the Kalahari to be part of the magic.⁣ “We came for the cycling and left with new friends, which we now seem to bump into everywhere!”⁣
⁣
Always near the back of the bunch, Hannes gives a shoutout to the sweepers who “always get us home — and teach us something along the way.”⁣
⁣
𝗪𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤?⁣
“The friendships. The ever-changing scenic routes. And green Plett — it’s a blast when you’re from the Kalahari! Honestly, it’s probably the most underrated cycling event of the year.”⁣

📏 ~70km/50km/40km with moderate climbing.⁣
☀️ Plett in December? Festive, vibrant, and the weather is world class.⁣
