John Swanepoel has created a magnificent cycling weekend and every item has been considered and catered for, from pickups at the airport to accommodation, food, tours of the town, picnics on the cycle etc. I cannot recommend this highly enough for anyone who wants to get away from the city for a brilliant break in charming town which has much to offer. Many highlights over the weekend including cycling over the truly spectacular Prince Albert pass. Thanks and congratulations to John and his team for such a very special occasion. Our entire group were blown away by the experience."

John and his team have put so much thought into the experience - from the daily cycling routes that expose you to different Karoo landscapes to the culinary delights of different restaurants and chefs, all based in Prince Albert. The size of the group was perfect, we started as strangers and left three days later as friends."

The food was outstanding and John has made an effort to support the Prince Albert businesses so we visited a few different establishments for our various meals. My favourite meal of the day was the refreshment stop, where we had a choice of Bar Ones, dry wors, muffins, chocolate brownies, crunchies, crisps, Coke and water. This is definitely a ride for you if you prefer something non-technical. But beware of a few monster uphills! Thanks Karoo Gravel Grinder team!"
