There is nothing easy about riding a 160km gravel race and there is certainly nothing easy about riding a 160km gravel race that ends up one of the most monstrous climbs South Africa has to offer for cyclists.

Swartberg 100 hails as a calendar favourite for many South African gravel enthusiasts for its beautiful route and breathtaking view once you crest Swartberg Pass, and for the challenging descent that faces cyclists in the final kilometers to reach the finish line!

Join us as we chat with two athletes of the Absolute Motion family, Victor Olckers (who finished 16th overall) and Carnie Van der Linde (who finished a bit further back) to hear about how they tackled the challenge! From tyre-pressures, pacing through a headwind, and nutrition strategy, it is all covered in this convo!
