Introducing YETI gravel raid!

What is a gravel raid? 

ˈgrvəl reɪd:

A multi day bicycle race on gravel roads - just better and cooler, because it's in winter! But seriously it's better and cooler.

Join us for some proper Winter Fun on some of the Agulhas Coast and Overberg's most legendary gravel roads. This is not just a bike race, it's a bike festival! 3 days of bike racing with a Winter Rock Concert thrown into the mix!

The iconic Lomond Wine Estate will play host to this new kid on the block. Mind you, don't think we can call it a kid… the new old man on the block!

Day 1:    Night CX Criterium - 3 laps of 2.5km

Day 2:     80 kms Full-on Race

Day 3:     31 kms Easy Decompression Ride, with a bit of racing. You WILL be hungover after Day 2's epic, post-stage rock concert!

The race will be decided on a segment points system. Each day will have racing segments where you accumulate points. The most points overall, wins the race. 

This format allows you to ride with your slow/fat/useless mates (whatever you choose to call them) but then still have the opportunity to race the segments and stand a chance to be on the podium!

Entry Fee is R1550.

This includes but not limited to:

• Access to all 3 day's riding
• Event T-shirt 
• Beer/Cool Drink after each stage
• Rock Concert on Friday afternoon/evening after stage 2
• Complimentary concert entrance for 2 friends or family members
• Awesome water/beer points
• Hot showers at the finish
• Medical Assistance. Also at, and after, the Rock Concert - you might need it!

All bikes welcome, including E-bikes. YETI is the race for all!

Join us for the Winter Bike Festival of the year! Lots of accommodation nearby, so get in!
