Organizer: The Road to Desolation Gravel means gravel racing in the heart of the Karoo.
Two unique choices face interested participants to choose your course and your approach. The longer version will only be open to drop-bar Gravel Bikes, whereas the shorter version can be raced on anything, as long as it doesn’t have a motor! No matter which you choose, the last 7km’s will be a reminder that you have taken on The Road To Desolation.
