UNSUPPORTED ULTRACYCLING GRAVEL BIKEPACKING

500km. This means no aid stations, no route markings. You get a route gpx file and you ride it your way. Two classifications. Solo, Groups/Touring. Try beat the solo record, or tour it before the cut-off.

Riders Stories

Through the challenges you faced during the ultra endurance experience, what was the most surprising discovery you made about yourself?

"A little flask of whiskey and a cigar went with, so I could celebrate my 72nd birthday on Saturday, all by my lonesome self, on a rock, watching the sunset over Africa. A big thank you to the race organizers, it’s a spectacular route and definitely worth an honourable first place on every cyclist’s bucket list."

Finisher. 64 hours. 34 Mins

When you are ready to quit you’ve only given 30%. Rule #5 is all you need (& maybe some good nutrition 😅)

Lance Williams

Sedgefield 500

I’m a bit deep into this now for too much new self discovery but still found a little bit of new ability to set a goal and chase a plan, for 22hrs.
