The event-bot sometimes load events, I am guessing this is upon request from the organiser PLEASE ask these event organisers to load it here, OR get their permission to load it on their behalf I WISH more organiers will make use of this portal .... looking for those one-day MTB events in the Boland ....

TyronLab Posted January 16, 2023 Share The Magalies one makes the Race to the Sun seem like a rip off all things considered. You could technically add the Transbaviaans, 36One, the Munga (and the Grit) et al to that list, since you could ride your gravel bike there too...

You'll need at least an enduro bike or even a DH bike, with full face helmet and body armour. Hypernorth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bub Marley Posted January 16, 2023 Share Serious question here. But surely a hard tail is a better choice than an actual gravel bike? Unless the route has loads of tar sections, why would you opt for a gravel instead of a hard tail? Just put some narrower less aggressive tyres on and you’re good to go. You’ll also descend so much better as well. Anyways, that’s my 2c for the day. guidodg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
