The Gallows – a 110km gravel race on the 17th of May in the Langeberg region of the Western Cape. The course is a fast and scenic rollercoaster that covers a variety of terrain before spitting you out at the base of the mighty Galgeberg mountain. It’s an absolute mammoth of a climb, especially after 100kms of racing.
The Gallows race starts at Lord’s Wines and plummets down towards McGregor. If you’re racing, hold onto your panties because this section is bloody hectic. The descent into McGregor is gnarly, expect plenty of rattling, dust, bottles flying out of their cages as riders jostle for good positioning into the first bit of single track. For those that aren’t “racing”, enjoy the sunrise.
At 9kms riders squeeze into The Hosepipe, a super tight 2kms fast and flowy single track that skirts around McGregor and shoots you off on the gravel rollers towards Bonnievale. From here there’s a bit of everything, rolling hills, maze-like vineyards, a few tar sections, a couple of river crossings, a few more slivers of single track and before you know it you’re back in McGregor.
No point in buttering it up, the slog from McGregor to Lord’s is a heavy one. The rises take it out of you, especially knowing that the real climb hasn’t started yet. Make the most of the water point at Lord’s Wines, because you’re about to tackle the hardest 12kms of your pathetic little cycling career. Embrace the sights, sounds and discomfort as you grind your way to the summit. See you at the top…
