Montagu Gravel & Grit Festival

There are this year THREE distances to choose from:

  1. 140km Gravel Race
  2. 100 kilometers
  3. 55km’s fun ride

Putting this route together has had many challenges but with help from landowners and a few seasonal gravel riders we managed to put something truly spectacular together.  Makadas Adventures, MATA & Africa Game Lodge presents a route….. that is truly out of Africa.  Magical, special, unique, and diverse are words that comes to mind.

Gravel Racing

55km Fun Gravel Ride

The route for the 100km event traverses the stunning Africa Game Lodge and you will be spoiled to magnificent views and many different types of game: Eland, Kudu, Gemsbuck, Giraffe etc. This route consists of multiple types of terrain. See the Makadas website for a breakdown.  Total climb: 1558m
