Gravel and Grape
3-Day Extreme
The 7th annual Gravel & Grape Extreme 3-day is taking place from 1 - 3 October 2021.
Featuring some of the gnarliest singletrack in the country, the Gravel & Grape Extreme is an event that takes mountain biking back to it’s 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 distances, for day 1, 2 and 3 respectively, are 35km, 50km and 50km.
The Gravel & Grape Mountain Bike Events are the ideal windows into the world of the Breedekloof Valley. Stunning views, bountiful wine farms, green valleys and abundant nature are the rewards for riding the Gravel & Grape. After riding, take the time to explore this stunning region.
Participating in the Gravel & Grape is the best way to experience the valley and region; the riding is beautiful, unique and exciting. While the region is all that and more.
By involving a number of wine farms into the race, each day offers something different, from the highest peaks to the lowest valley floors.
As it is for the region’s famed Chenin grapes, so it will be for the Gravel & Grape riders - on the lower regions of valley the soil is sandy with gigantic river pebbles, while higher up you find broken rock and sandstone. To help you through it all will be the expertly carved trail.
This is an event that will test you, but will also provide warm hospitality and the opportunity to indulge in the regions award-winning wines after each day’s riding.
The route has been crafted to reflect the rugged nature of the Slanghoek 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 and Grape Extreme is also a showcase of the regions hearty country food, majestic mountains, vineyards and sparkling rivers.
The Breedekloof Wine Valley is just one hour from Cape Town, and includes Rawsonville, Slanghoek, Goudini & Breerivier.
Each day will see a new venue which will be communicated at a later stage
