Once a week we update the list below. We provide for a maximum 32 riders and a maximum of 14 non-rider companions in each tour. This ensures that everyone can receive the attention they deserve on tour. History has shown that on average for every 8 riders we normally have 1 non-rider companion. When the rider entries are full we close the bookings. The number of participants in total are listed out the maximum of 46. (32 + 14 = 46)

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!"

The Karoo GravelGrinder, a 3 day, social, cycling and culinary experience you can share with a group of colleagues or friends. The routes are designed to accommodate gravel, cyclocross and mountain bikes. E-bikes are also welcome.
We've settled on around 60km per day , it's long enough to be a challenge but short enough to leave you with some energy to enjoy the afternoon. In addition we have shorter options on the same route if so desired. We now offer the "Xtra Large" option for advanced fitness riders (with true grit) who wish to ride longer distances each day. The routes are designed to allow these riders to meet up with their companions for the last 25 to 30 km of the days ride. |
