DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
Riding 600k’s across South Africa is hard enough without having to figure everything out logistically or mechanically or logically – the idea is that you switch off from mainstream life for a bit. So if you can’t find the answers here, email us anytime and we will hopefully be able to put your concerns to rest.
EXPLAIN JOBERG2C, GO2BERG AND GO2SEA?
JOBERG2C was the nine-day ride to the sea that started in 2010. It evolved into go2berg in 2023 and now go2sea in 2026.
HOW MANY RIDERS?
The field size is limited to ensure that everyone who is rides is not just a number.
CAN I SKIP A DAY?
If you are injured or sick you may miss a day and continue riding provided you make your own plans to get to the next race village.
go2berg does not offer a rider or bike shuttle service during the event from village to village.
If you miss a day due to injury or illness you will not be an official finisher.
WHAT BIKE IS BEST FOR GO2SEA?
This is very subjective – there are many riders who ride different bikes.
If you want to race then the best would be a light marathon full suspension bike.
If you want to ride to enjoy then a slightly longer travel marathon or light trail bike will be perfect.
If you only have a hard tail and you are quite tough then you will be fine.
We even have some crazy people riding the event on rigid single speed bikes.
We ride the dry run on 29inch marathon bikes capable of being trail bikes.
NB! fast rolling, tubeless tyres, with a strong side wall are essential and possibly more important than what bike you ride. Please don’t try ride without tubeless tyres – this is Africa – we have rocks and thorns!
CAN I RIDE FOR A CHARITY?
By simply riding go2sea you are contributing to communities along the route. And are welcome to ride for a charity of your choice.
IS GO2SEA TOUR?
Although most riders feel like they are touring when doing our ride, it is also a race. Like the tour de France we call this the “off-road” tour of South Africa.
go2bsea is a tough rewarding mountain bike ride across South Africa. Riders must ride each day unless injured or sick. Riders need to be fit and prepared for the entire journey. You start in Clarens and you ride to the sea.
HOW DOES YOUR MEDICAL SUPPORT WORK?
We have full medical back up through-out the event. We have some of the world’s best hospitals and doctors and you will be in the best care possible. It is your responsibility to have proper medical insurance to cover any hospital expenses.
