rudi-h Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 it'll work. myself and 3 friends are into any kind of cycling. road races, marathons, MTB tours, road tours, Enduro's, pump tracks, the odd DH course so pretty much anything involving 2 wheels and a crank. every year we try to get together and do a cycle "thing" together, whether its a one day race, a stage race, a tour or even an overseas trip. two of our best trips to date were gravel road tours right here in the RS of A. Just had a lot of fun and spent good time together as friends in beautiful places. one of these trips saw us cycling from PE to Knysna through the Baviaanskloof, and another year we did a round trip in the Karoo starting from Graaff Reinet, Murraysburg, Nieu Bethesda and back. Both trips were 400 km to 500 km in distance spanning over 5 days of riding. really cool way to spend a few days off which leaves you fit and refreshed for the next week.

TALUS Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 This thread got me so excited about gravel grinds, that I might have slipped, tripped and bought a CX bike by accident.....

And we had a great time this year!Ok, as most cyclists have a pre 1999 SA built race bike and a week or so available to ride long days on skinny tyres over corrugated roads with a 48x19 granny gear, calling it niche is maybe the wrong word. Happy to accept mass appeal..

eddy Posted November 14, 2016 Posted November 14, 2016 If we ever have Gravel Grind races, something like this will hopefully be my weapon of choice
