SUMMARY:Franschhoek 500
DESCRIPTION:In the Western Cape of South Africa\, where whispers of tales of centuries past are spoken\, a different adventure unfolds. Welcome to the Gravalist Franschhoek 500 bikepacking event. \nThis isn’t your typical wine tour but a daring exploration of beautiful gravel roads. \nhe challenge is a test of grit\, determination\, endurance\, and skill. \nYou must conquer testing terrain and dig deep to get the best of your ability. With only 150 km on the tarmac\, the route is dusty\, and the road is not always smooth\, but nothing good comes easy. \nThe distance is 500 km\, and we only allow 13 participants to enter. \nThe field is small\, and nobody’s adventure is going to be the same. \nYou might be there to enjoy your surroundings or might want to push your body to the limit. The event is yours to enjoy. You all will be self-sufficient\, and the challenge is you vs you. \nFor more information and to enter\, click here
