The Ceres 500 is a bikepacking experience that takes you deep into the rugged beauty and rich history of the Cederberg region. Spanning 520km with 6,450m of climbing, this epic adventure promises stunning mountain views, ancient heritage sites, and thrilling gravel passes.

Ride through the heart of the Cederberg’s untamed landscapes, tracing routes shaped by oceanic activity and history. Conquer iconic challenges like the legendary Dasklip Pass, with its dramatic switchbacks and breathtaking views over the West Coast.

Steeped in stories of the Koi San people, early settlers, and hidden treasures, the Ceres 500 is more than a race — it’s a journey through time and terrain.

I'll admit that I didn't read much – on a spread of the Gradualist pages – but from what I gather you get yourself invited – whatever that means – then presumably send someone money, and you go play in the mountains. Entirely unsupported. No watering stations. No nothing. Zip. Nada.

I obviously have this wrong.
