milky4130 Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Another 70km Race is Yzerfontein, gravel & tar with some sections extremely sandy for a Gravel Bike, the mountain bikes had no issues though. Allrounder 1

Chris NewbyFraser Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 The Highland100 to be run in Clarens during late September, newly launched by the folk who put on the Berg100 which is held in Kzn during March.Race to the Sun 167km next month.Massive Adventures Lindley Gravel Grind, 230km and 105km early next year(these are in addition to their Spring grind this September). Planners are looking at an event in the Karkloof next year and another event is being looked at for the Tarlton/Derby areas in Gauteng province. The 95/55 gravel road race from van Gaalens in August. The Karoo2Coast 95km is the original 'big one'. The Desert Dash in Namibia. The Munga is the daddy of them all. Allrounder 1
Patchelicious Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Maybe split them into Endurance and Gravel. I made the mistake of thinking the Dad was a Gravel race, it’s not! Allrounder 1
Dogs Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Cullinan to Tonteldoos (was a couple of weeks ago)Recce Mission (220 km MTB) Also have a 100km Trail Run. Shorter options available. It's in Dullstroom and next one is on 18 May. Allrounder 1
Big_Al Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Around the pot 100miler in Swellendam! https://www.bikehub.co.za/events/event/3392-around-the-pot-100miler/ Allrounder and Patchelicious 2
Allrounder Posted April 17, 2019 Author Posted April 17, 2019 I seems like I have to start training a bit harder. Plenty of rides to do!
Allrounder Posted April 17, 2019 Author Posted April 17, 2019 Maybe split them into Endurance and Gravel. I made the mistake of thinking the Dad was a Gravel race, it’s not! I think the split is correct, or did I miss classify some of them?
Tomik Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Well, the Karoo to Coast is not 100 miles (as per your title) and the Cedarberg is not a gravel bike race. The organisers prohibited gravel bikes this year (for good reasons).
Tomik Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Probably best to list them as 100 milers (in brackets gravel or MTB) and Endurance (i.e. longer than 100 miles) Allrounder 1
