The Extreme is the same three day race that hardcore mountain bikers have come to know and love over two years, while the Adventure is a two day mountain bike challenge that covers 65km of cycling over the course of its stages. The Adventure is a solo and team event. Entries are for teams of two in two different categories: junior and open. The junior category is for both team members between the ages of 16 and 18 years, while the open category can be a son\/daughter, husband\/wife, daughter\/father team or any two adults who would like to experience their first stage race.<\/p>\n
Pure MTB<\/h2>\n
Both events (the Adventure follows the same route as the Extreme) feature some of the purest, expertly hand-cut singletrack in the country. The Gravel & Grape is an event that takes mountain biking back to its roots, focussing on fun but challenging riding with trails that reward the effort you put in.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Gravel & Grape delivers raw, rough mountain biking,\u201d says last year\u2019s winner, Chris Wolhuter. \u201cA highlight was riding through some parts of the valley that were completely isolated. It was very beautiful, very serene.\u201d<\/p>\n
The routes have been crafted to reflect the rugged nature of the Breedekloof Valley, but also to show its gentler side. Stunning views, unique scenery, and three days of pure mountain biking will leave you gasping for more. The Gravel & Grape Extreme and Adventure are also a showcase of the region’s quality wines, hearty country food, majestic mountains, vineyards and sparkling rivers. Many of the local wine farms will be at the race village over the weekend, with tasting stations for all parched riders.<\/p>\n
