Family…check. Garden Route holiday…check. Great Brak Grabadoo…duh…check!
The 11th Great Brak Grabadoo will take place on 31 December 2013 and this is THE event of the festive season for everyone not teething…on the other hand…some pretty tough moms have completed this race with their families! Whether you are a novice or a veteran mountain biker, the Great Brak Grabadoo offers something for everyone.
The Grabadoo is the biggest cycle race in the Southern Cape this time of the year with on average 1000 participants every year. The Grabadoo is especially important for all those cyclists attempting the Argus, wanting to get in some needed kilometres in a safe and controlled environment before March. What better way to get ready? Getting fit while having some much needed fun!
Most of the captivating Grabadoo route meanders through Cape Pine forests. Cape Pine amiably granted permission to ride through the Cape Pine forests. All participants in the 2013 Great Brak Grabadoo will therefore be able to enjoy the beauty of the forests, free of charge. Cape Pine wants members of the public to experience and be inspired by the beauty of the forests.
