So we've got a triple crown of road bikepacking this year now with this little gem.
http://o5demo.com/transafrikabikerace/The Trans Afrika is an unsupported Adventure Bicycle Race from Beitbridge to Cape Town South Africa.
Riders are autonomous and not bound to one fixed route; they must only visit the mandatory checkpoints below.
There is no minimum kit list; the rules only serve to prohibit outside assistance and provide a level playing field.
Resupply is permitted at commercially available services only.
CP 1: PIGGS PEAK CASINO, SWAZILAND
CP 2 :TOP OF MOTENG PASS, LESOTHO
CP 3: PRINCE ALBERT, SOUTH AFRICA
FINISH: LE MED, CAMPS BAY, CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA
