Chris NewbyFraser Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Found the entry info to this interesting gravel road race in Swellendam. 160km main race but also with two shorter distances. Middle of winter!! https://www.entryninja.com/events/event/25501-around-the-pot-100miler

FarmerMTB Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 This was for sure the best race of 2017! Do not expect to trap any flat roads. It is up, up and some more up, a quick down and then up again. Great training for the Trans-Baviaans! The rooster-brood at Malgas was the highlight of the race (My legs appreciated the neutral-zone over the Brede-river with the Pont, witch was the only flat part the entire 160km!) Only two complains: ​1.The Trafic-Police escort on the N2 to the gravel-road, where the race start, was way to fast! I felt like a hamster, spinning like mad to keep-up. 2. I know these roads, they are my training grounds, to have a lot of friendly MTB'ers come and trap my plat are not good for my ego, but sure as hell a lot of fun.Â
