guidodg Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Organiser Greyton MTB EVENT DESCRIPTION Join Greyton Mountain Bike Club on 21 September and get ready for an adrenaline-pumping adventure with The Canola Roller! This 130km gravel grind features 1700m of climbing, kicking off in the village of Greyton. With 95% of the route on gravel roads, including exclusive access to private farm roads, The Canola Roller is your ticket to the most breathtaking springtime views of the Overberg and the Riversonderend mountains. Expect a thrilling ride featuring everything from fast hard pack rolling hills to demanding technical climbs and exhilarating downhill sections. Fear not, every kilometer of this epic journey is conquerable on a gravel bike. As one of the five races in the Cannondale WC Gravel Series, The Canola Roller 130 promises an unforgettable experience for every enthusiastic gravel grinder out there. Also on offer is a challenging, non-technical yet equally stunning 80km route with 990m elevation and a super family-friendly 30km route with 300m elevation that everyone can enjoy. A CAUSE WORTH RIDING FOR! Part of the proceeds raised go towards the Greyton MTB Juniors Club and our surrounding trail network.

betaboy Posted May 30 Posted May 30 So nice to see an event that is catering for the gravel beginners. That route is full of eye candy! I hope this event gets great numbers.
MongooseMan Posted May 31 Posted May 31 @guidodg any chance of some gpx or route pics? Race is 2 weeks before Ceder, so a tossup between a last long ride (130k) or a sharpener (80k)
guidodg Posted May 31 Author Posted May 31 this will probably be the longer route..unless the weather turns and we have to make some mods https://www.strava.com/routes/3228364343966695210 MongooseMan 1
guidodg Posted May 31 Author Posted May 31 80km will follow the same route up to about the 60km mark and then split off and head towards Greyton...no tar whatsoever on the 80km, about 5km of tar for the long one MongooseMan 1

We'll see you there. guidodg 1
