[Leverage Corporation]

Event Name: The Grind - REVERSE
When: 09/09/2023
Where: Maropeng: Official Visitor Centre for the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage site, Krugersdorp, Gauteng
Category: The Grind - REVERSE

"The Grind", 150km of gravel is back on the 9th of September, but this time, we are changing the direction of the route - now it will be going in reverse from the February event.

Once again, it is starting again from Stone Park in Maropeng, in the Cradle of Humankind, on an out-and-back route. Something fun from The Leverage Corporation. Again, this will be done in True Leverage Corporation Style. Nice and slick, nice and classy, and an event to remember for all the right reasons.

You will ride from Maropeng, into the Magalies region passing close by to Mount Grace Hotel & Spa, and then encounter areas that are little known to the average cyclist. Areas that are largely unexplored and that you probably have never heard of, such as Maanhaarrand, Vlakfontein, Koesterfontein, and a few more will be explored.

Can you do it in 12 hours or less? Well, that's up to you.

We have tried to keep it reasonably flat, but there's still just over 1650m of climbing.

Once again, we will have 5 checkpoints on the route, doubling as change-over points, well-stocked water tables, and rest stations.

The good news is that you can choose to do it as a solo rider, or you can get a team of two, or a team of four together and share the 150km load.

• Solo riders will do 150km
• Teams of 2 will do 90km each
• Teams of 4 will do 60km each
•
