Racing @gogravelmidlands / SA Gravel Champs in the Karkloof was fantastic this past weekend. Hard, and these guys did some damage to me, but fantastic. I missed some form and didn’t have the legs when Alex and Dusty went properly 4 hours in but I’m proud to have suffered about as much as I could and managed to hang a bit too up until then. That course was wild, I had a hand in the design so I can’t complain there, and it really served up a challenge and experience that I’m sure all riders will come back for. Beautiful and brutal, exactly how gravel should be. It served up fitting SA Champs too, most of all @mattbeers55 and @taylorchick who will do the jersey proud wherever and against whoever they race. I hope that everyone who raced and rode loved the Karkloof as much as those of us lucky enough to call it our home groad. Thank you to Devlin and his team for an awesome first event here, I am sure it’ll get even better as it grows too. Thank you too to @mikaylabenky for putting up with my nerves before and looking after me, along with @f_rossouw, during the race and to @callans_biketech for making sure that my @curvecycling Kev was running perfectly on a course that really tested our equipment. I look forward to next year’s race already! #benkyrides #justride
