Gravel and Grape

Gravel & Grape, now in its fourth year, offers three race options to experience the thrills and spills of the Breedekloof Wine Valley and is taking place from 04 – 06 May 2018.

There is the Gravel & Grape Extreme, a challenging three-day stage race covering approximately 207km in total, and the Gravel & Grape Adventure for the cyclist not quite ready for the step up to three days of racing. The Adventure is a two-day ride that follows the same trails as the Extreme, and although it only covers 65km in total, the routes are still technical and challenging.

Featuring a unique route that pleases and punishes in equal measure, the Gravel & Grape Extreme is an event that takes mountain biking back to its roots. With challenging technical riding, the Extreme is best suited for riders with a sense of adventure and a well-stocked arsenal of rock-hopping, berm-bending, switchback-sizzling talent.

The route has been crafted to reflect the rugged nature of the Breedekloof Wine Valley, but also to show its gentler side. Stunning views in a picturesque location and a cloverleaf format creates three days of pure mountain biking that will leave you gasping for more. The days are not long, but the terrain will put riders and their bikes to the test.
