the_roadie Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Hi all! Any hubbers doing the inaugural Garden Route Giro next month? I've got an entry, but haven't received much communication from the organizers so hoping this still goes ahead.

In comparison to Gravel burn, the stages on the GRG are longer with more elevation so hopefully the terrain is not as rof as Gravel Burn. Dryland Events, Pure Savage and the_roadie 3
the_roadie Posted March 23 Author Posted March 23 Looks like the start of the event has changed from Salt & Copper to Jakkalsvlei? And seems some of the stages have been shortened a bit. The queen stage is 127km instead of 167km. So total distance of the has gone from 684km to 570km. Dryland Events 1
