Ronde van Swartberg 2026

[HdB]

Not much mention of this race on the forums, anyone doing it this year?

I have not done any events with my gravel bike, so a "little" 170km should do the trick, right?
My bike, a Basso Terra, can't fit much wider than a 45mm, front can possibly go a bit wider but currently running a 45mm as well, both Maxxis Reavers I think.

In 2022 did the SB100 on Maxxis Rambler 40mm, and 2025 on Schwalbe G One Bites in almost the same time. . Lots of tar and the gravel not bad. Reaver 45s will be fine. Where I suffered was on the descent into Prince Albert. For the rest you're good to go.
