The World’s First 7-day Point to Point Gravel Stage Race
The Rainmaker RollerCoaster offers riders the choice to race the 550km with 8,000m of climbing in teams of two, or those who prefer a more leisurely pace can ride the route in small groups supported by the HotChillee Ride Captains.
The event will be open to mountain bikes as well as gravel bikes, but the parcours will best suit the speed of a gravel bike.
Rainmaker Rollercoaster will start with a sunset time trial in the Bontebok National Park, Swellendam and follow the gravel roads and trails of the farmlands into the semi desert of the Little Karoo, along the lush Garden Route, through the Knysna Forest before finishing at the breathtaking coast of Plettenberg Bay.
