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.

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.

@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)

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

No more Pie Run ?

the Pie Run is now the 80km Canola Roller...but has some much nicer sections and avoids muddy areas and the crappy section through Riviersonderend

That was the first ride my wife ever did, and she loved it so much that we were planning on coming down from Jo'burg to spend the weekend and do the ride together this time.

We'll see you there.
