WINDHOEK – The six-day Namib Quest mountain bike stage race gets underway in the capital on Sunday and ends 6 days later in the coastal town of Swakopmund.
The route passes through the rugged mountains of the Khomas Hochland, dropping down through the transition plateau into the famous Namib desert and includes parts of the Namib Naukluft Park.
