The 24/7/365 ULTRA GRAVEL is a Social Ride open to Mountain Bikers and Gravel Bikers who have the stamina and endurance to ride for 24 hours, through 7 Water Points over 365kms.

The field is limited to 50 Riders – on a First Entered, First Paid basis and EVERY rider gets a FREE ENTRY TO C2T ULTRA 2020 ;-) and entries will open on the same day as C2T MTB ULTRA 2020.

LET’s RIDE
Ride briefing will be at 5:30am on the Saturday outside the Town Hall in Harrismith, which is about 300kms from Johannesburg on the N3.
Choose your weapon (MTB or GRAVEL) and saddle up at 6:00am sharp
 
WP0 - 36km (+309m, -319m)
This is an ‘unofficial’ POPUP Coke and Water Point, to give you a ‘boost’ as you tackle the climb to Draai Hoek Farm.

WP1 - 66km (30 km +416m, -316m)
At Draai Hoek Farm Jan and Carla will spoil you with Koffie en Beskuit and some much needed energy supplement to get you over the hill.

WP2/CP1 – 112km (46km +522m, -626m)
The descending starts !! Your average speed will definitely increase as you head ‘down’ to Vrede Hotel where either your Support Crew or your Drop Box will meet you. Make sure your bike light is charged and connected. The shadows will now be getting longer. Recharge your stomach linings with a fully loaded BUFFET menu and then you can be on your way.

WP3 - 166km (54km +295m, -458m) 
Another “POP UP” Water Point at the Free State / Mpumalanga border on the Vaal River as you continue to improve on your average speed. Delicious snacks, pepsi and water will be provided. No passport necessary - only more bum cream ;-)

WP4/CP2 – 202km (36km +213m, -148m)
Rolling hills and train tracks will lead you to the Val Hotel where either your Support Crew or your Drop box will meet you. Rita ( she owns ‘The Town’ ) will spoil you with a GOURMET BUFFET.

Don’t linger, the sun has set, dress up for the night ride and switch on your lights ? 100miles to go.

WP5 – 240km (38km +277m, -238m) 
Another “POP UP” Water Point at a Coal Mine Belt. The stars will be out -  so have a quick Carbo Load and keep peddling ?

WP6 – 276km (36km +306m, -262m) 
At the GrasDak Restaurant, Devon-  Jana and Theo will provide a light meal to take you through the midnight hour. You definitely will need to stop here and refuel - 100kms to go ;-) 

WP7 – 318km (42km +168m, -244m) 
Navigate next to Railway Lines and Coal Mines to RedStar Raceway. This will be the ideal break you need to get some Coke and Coffee (laced with Caffeine), and some important snacks. Stay focused, Keep pedalling - almost home !!

LEGENDS-MX- FINISH VILLAGE 365km (52km +295m, -410m)
