On our way to our accommodation in Hermanus, we cycle from Bredasdorp to Stanford today, where we brake at the Birkenhead brewery. Before that, we cycle on asphalt (tar) towards the first of several gravel climbs. I realise that the point where we do that is the most southern point in the world where…

To avoid the busy highway, we take a small jumpstart with the bus that we have as a group in South Africa. We drive to the beginning of the gravel road that will take us from Swellendam towards the south.
It soon becomes clear what kind of ride this is going to be. The wide, hard gravel road is fantastic…

To make sure we arrive in time for our late lunch in Greyton, we start our ride on the other side of the Franschhoek Pass. We immediately drive onto a hard gravel road and it is immediately beautiful.
The landscape of the South African Cape is amazing. Sandwiched between mountains, a hilly landscape…

Cycling day 2. Our week on the gravel bike through the Cape of South Africa starts quietly and that's a good thing, because it's warm. No, hot. With sometimes little wind and not a cloud in the sky, it's almost impossible to do with gusts of up to 40 degrees... almost, because it is doable, especially…

Cycling day 1. To really test our legs and technique, we get on our gravel bikes and mountain bikes as a group and shoot from Franschhoek towards a singletack along a local reservoir. Although it is a short round, it takes us a while. The stones are rough and African gravel is very different from the…

How do you satisfy your craving for a bikepacking trip in a year where traveling is not easy? I tried to find suitable regions on maps, because with the coronavirus I didn't want to go that far away. And so I discovered places that I had always overlooked before. Instead of driving to Spain or the Alps…

The Wisky Sixty. This small-scale gravel event has been organised near Zwolle for a few years now. Straight through Salland, along the Overijsselse Vecht, the tour weaves together kilometre after kilometre of beautiful gravel path. The alternation between forest and field is wonderful and even after…

If there is one thing that attracts the Rapha riders who mainly live in the west of the Netherlands to the east, it is a good gravel ride. With this in mind, I organized a gravel social together with my friends from Rapha Amsterdam from @Crossroads Cycling Culture in Nijmegen.
After a start with coffee…

Land of Gravel and Sand - Kop van Limburg.
Much further north than many will think, you will already cycle in Limburg, the cycling province par excellence, where cycling is also very beautiful outside the south.
This wonderfully varied route of approximately 75 kilometers proves that this is certainly…
It is already the last day of our culinary gravel bike tour through the South African Western Cape. The weather is not really good and the planning of the group I am cycling with also requires a shorter ride. We decide to shorten our ride from Hermanus to just the last two climbs.
After a bus transfer…
