milky4130 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Okes, just want to confirm, does the 2 day trek follow the same route as the one day ? From the maps it looks kinda like an out and back ride along the same route?out & back, turn around at the half way mark. Pretty much like To Hell & Back but it is in no way the same boring route ridden in reverse.

Karman de Lange Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Just a reminder for those considering, this years route is not Gravel Bike friendly. If my ask, Why?
Vegan Warrior Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Just a reminder for those considering, this years route is not Gravel Bike friendly.Noted! Just had a chuckle thinking back to Yzerfontein where the Savages tricked you into riding your gravel rig. Think I remember somebody saying that the 2nd climb/pass of the day was extremely rocky, and the area is notorious for it's corrugated roads.
Rouxenator Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 If my ask, Why? The climb from Wuppertal is a 4x4 trail. Karman de Lange 1
milky4130 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 If my ask, Why? In addition to Rouxenator's reply, its a different route to the previous 2 years. In the past it was from Clanwilliam to Ceres. Now it starts & end from Clanwilliam i.e.out & back. Rouxenator 1

Was ok until my Rear Derailleur gave in on me. I regretted not turning back to the finish that day.
Gravel Travel Events Posted March 9, 2019 Author Posted March 9, 2019 If my ask, Why? If my ask, Why? We just tested riding the Heuningvlei section of the Race route this morning. It is definitely not suitable for a gravel bike . Extremely rocky and sandy in patches . This stretch is about 10km. BUT the most scenic 10km you will ever find on a bike!

milky4130 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 The Cederberg scenery never disappoints, 3 weeks to go. Rouxenator 1

CharlieGaul Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 hi guys, has anyone ridden this on a gravel bike?

tazz1313 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Getting closer. Same nervous exitement as previous years. The new 160km route adds a new dimension, but the organizers never disappoint. Love this event.
Ironfist Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Does anyone perhaps have the gpx file for the 2019 route? Thanks tazz1313 1
