HISTORY:
The Sabie “Bubble Run” began in 2014 by Joe Fleming, Leroy “Black” Tulip and Marnitz Venter. It was inspired by a few different traditional runs in the United States (The Gypsy Run and El Diablo Run) but to give it that South African spin on it. WHY IS IT CALLED THE "BUBBLE RUN?”
During the inaugural run the first two days were filled with rain. It was pretty miserable and our only saving
grace during those days were our ‘Bubble Shields’ and the word ‘bubble’ seemed to be something that stood out to us for something we wouldn’t forget. Simply put a traditional run is high milage and low drama. While the modern run is essentially a forty mile coffee run with a lot of bolt on chrome compliments. A traditional run is riding, camping and a heck of a good party. A traditional run is geared toward the rider who feels out of place at a “major rally” or anywhere you find an excess of “LIVE TO RIDE” patches. WHAT TYPE OF BIKES WILL BE ON THE RUN? All bikes are welcome to join. It does not matter what you ride, so long as you ride. If you can hang, you are welcome. HOW LONG IS THE RUN? The two longest days are on Wednesday Dec 16th (to Sabie - 400km) and on the way home on Sunday Dec 20th. The days in between tend to vary depending on the routes we choose for the day. There are a LOT of roads around Sabie for us to take advantage of. NO CUTS OR PATCHES. Please respect this request.
