At least 100 world class bikers will on Saturday take in a 70 kilometre road race to showcase agricultural economic potential in Limuru Highlands to local and international investors.

The main purpose of the event is to raise adequate funds for the implementation of an economically and environmentally sustainable zonal spatial plan.
It will also be the blueprint for the preservation, conservation and protection of the historic sites in the area, while designing for the clusters of the various industries and amenities.
The Trust is a custodian of the 1,200 families who are striving to turn the area into a Garden Route similar to the one in South Africa.

She added that plans are also very advanced for a state-of-the-art tea factory at Ngarariga which will export speciality teas to Uzbekistan, Kazakstan and Tajikistan, which represent a new frontier as far as tea markets are concerned.
Limuru Highlands Trust will be partnering with the National Treasury, Kenya National Highways Authority, Water Resources Management Authority and Kenya Forest Service.
The Bikathon, will kick off from the historical 1924 Kentmere Club and traverse the five zones of Cianda, Riara Ridge, Kentmenre, Tigoni and Redhill.
