Trans Baviaans 24HR MTB Race

13/08/2026

The alarm at 8:00 AM felt unnecessary; the nerves had been keeping me awake since 4:00 AM anyway. Standing among hundreds of blinking taillights in Willowmore, the freezing Karoo air burned my lungs, but the collective energy of the crowd was electric. Two hundred and thirty kilometers of gravel, corrugated roads, and jagged mountains stretched between us and Jeffrey’s Bay.
The first fifty kilometers flew by in a fast-moving paceline, dust rising like smoke in the morning sun. Then came the gateway to the Baviaanskloof. Towering red cliffs closed in, swallowing the sun and trading the flat gravel for brutal river crossings and relentless jeep track. My legs felt strong through the first few water hurdles, the icy splashes splashing over my knees, refreshing despite the sting.
By kilometer 120, the honeymoon was officially over. "MAC"—the infamous Mother of All Climbs—loomed ahead. The gradient tilted upward sharply, transforming smooth pedaling into a heavy, grinding march. Dust caked my teeth, and every pedal stroke felt like pushing through wet concrete. Midway up, a fellow rider offered a quiet, dust-masked nod of solidarity. No words were needed; the mountain was taking its toll on everyone. Reaching the summit brought a sudden rush of cold wind, a fleeting glimpse of the wild valley below, and a terrifyingly steep descent into the growing dusk.
Night fell with absolute darkness. My bike light cut a narrow tunnel through the pitch-black wilderness as we navigated the endless, bone-rattling corrugations. Exhaustion settled deep into my lower back, but the support at the night check-points—hot soup, warm smiles, and cheering volunteers—kept the pedals turning.
With twenty kilometers to go, the salty breeze off the Indian Ocean hit my face, replacing the scent of dry mountain fynbos. The final stretch into Jeffrey’s Bay was a blur of heavy legs and overwhelming relief. Crossing the finish line under the bright floodlights, cold, caked in mud, and utterly shattered, I handed off my timing chip, leaned over my handlebars, and smiled. I had conquered the Baviaans.
