SA’s very first Gran Fondo gravel bike race took place recently in the exquisite Swartberg Mountain region that covered a gruelling 170km route with challenging climbs totalling 2800m interspersed with exhilarating descents. Mike Posthumus took first place on a Cannondale Synapse road bike with Matthys Beukes coming in second on a Scott Scale 900 mountain bike.

Fantastic pictures! :clap:  :thumbup: Damn, ticked about missing this one  :( but also a bit relieved, because if the winners describe it as "tough" then I can just imagine how I would have bled

Glad to say I've been there for the inaugural & will definitely be back next year.

P.s. In one of the pics you can see me in the distance being dropped from the leading pack, that's how tough & hard it was.

@DJ, close top S2C, so good training - will check if the Mrs will be keen as well. Will keep all toes to myself!
