Rumble in the Jungle - Sri Lanka's premier mountain bike stage race, takes riders from hot and humid jungles, through mountain hugging tea plantations and across the islands highest plateau. Along the way riders will need to wade across rivers, ride through dense jungle, home to wild elephants, leopards and snakes, tackle 1000+m climbs and negotiate bone clattering rocky descents.
Via a network of rarely traveled off road trails and quiet back country lanes Rumble in the Jungle takes riders through the diverse terrain and climate unique to Sri Lanka. Intense humidity, leeches, baking sun, torrential rain, mud, sand, rock and over 7000m of ascent combine to make this race one of the World's toughest adventures, on one of the worlds most idyllic islands.
Sri Lanka Airlines are title sponsors for this event and are offering discounted flights to participants and family to attend the race.
