Sneeuberg Crawl 2019
December 2014, I was scrolling through Bikehub.co.za and discovered a "Sneeuberg Crawl" thread on the Bikehub where "Josias" posted : " Het my eerste 100km race gedoen, het die baie geniet! Tussen Graaff Reinet en Murraysburg." I have never heard of "Sneeuberg" nevermind the "Sneeuberg Crawl" before was immediately intrigued by the idea of doing this 100km mtb race in the middle of the Karoo (just like people & water, cycling events in the Karoo are few and far in between), but unfortunately the date always clashed with my cycling highlight at the tail end of every year - the Stellenbosch Cycle Tour. With the Stellenbosch Cycle Tour moving dates to January finally 5 years after seeing the bikehub thread I had the excuse to make the trip to Murraysburg. With my parents as company for the long road on the N1, we made the 600km trip from Cape Town to Murraysburg on the Friday. Murraysburg is a typical little old Karoo
