Grahamstown’s own road cycle event, the Makana Brick Grocott’s Cycle Tour takes place on Sunday 19 September. The race, which was previously held in May, has had a date change due to the last few races being held in cold and miserable weather.

Grahamstown’s own road cycle event, the Makana Brick Grocott’s Cycle Tour takes place on Sunday 19 September. The race, which was previously held in May, has had a date change due to the last few races being held in cold and miserable weather.


As the Eastern Province  Cycling calender is pretty full, 19 September was chosen. The race attracts many top East London and Port Elizabeth riders as well as other cyclists from across South Africa.

The race is open to anyone and has something for the whole family. While the 80.4km race attracts top riders from across the country, anyone who thinks they can manage the distance is welcome to take part.

For those not yet fit for the 80.4km, there is always the 34km option. Organised by the Grahamstown Round Table and Rhodes University Cycling Club, the Makana Brick Grocott’s Cycle  Tour consists of the 80.4km main event, a 34km as well as a 10km children’s ride.

All events take place from the Grahamstown Golf Club. The 80.4 starts at 7.30am with the 34km at 8am and the 10km ride at 8.30am.

Registration takes place at the golf club on Saturday 18 September from 5pm to 6.30pm as well as Sunday before the start of each race, where late entries will also be accepted.

There will be refreshments on sale during the event. Grocott’s Mail will continue to publish a training programme aimed towards the Makana Brick Grocott’s Cycle Tour, which is compiled by the Rhodes Cycling Club.

The programme will be published in the Friday edition of Grocott’s Mail. To enter online visit www.makanabrickgrocotts.co.za. For more information email ghtcycle@gmail.com
