Morning beginners gravel ride Durbanville to Paarl.

Sunday 10th April

The BMWMCCC is offering a morning ride on gravel from Durbanville to Paarl and back by 12H30.

This ride will be a relaxed, slow ride to give riders new to gravel and opportunity to experience gravel riding under the tutillage of experienced riders.

We will meet 08H00 in the car park of the Plattekloof Centre, opposite the Panorama Hospital.

We will deflate tyres to off-road pressure and then depart after a briefing.

Routing will take us from Contermanskloof to the Malanshoogte road. Then to the Spes Bona gravel road where we stop for a briefing on gravel riding.

We follow a 90km  mix of easy to ride gravel, tar and gravel road to the foot of Paarl mountain.

We ride the famous Jan Pillips drive and come out at Proviant restaurant where we stop for a brunch.

After brunch we head back 73 km via Suide Paarl, Fairview on a mix of tar & gravel to Durbanville.

You will realise we have a host of really cool roads to ride, on gravel, right on our doorstep.
