The GSB is possibly the most stunning and inspirational 1100km ride you can find on our little planet. Many would describe it as a life-changing experience to complete these southern courses for the first time. A great challenge, with great people, and great country.

Depending on your pace, it is one of the tougher bikepacking rides, so the reward is huge! :) The lows make the highs even higher. So it’s a win win… afterwards. :)
