The Grand Slam Challenge Series is the perfect vehicle for goal-setting, motivation and fully supported ride security to help you achieve your riding and fitness goals each year.

highlights

Progressive Distance Challenge

Five rides across the year, each increasing in length, from 40 km up to 200 km, allowing riders to steadily build strength and confidence.

Fully Supported Open-Road Riding

Clear route notes, marked courses, hydration stations, first aid and mechanical backup provide strong support while you ride at your own pace.

Friendly, Non-Competitive Atmosphere

A welcoming community event where riders encourage one another, making it ideal for both experienced cyclists and those tackling longer distances for the first time.

reviews

A fantastic series for building confidence. Each Grand Slam gets a little longer, but the structure makes progression feel natural. It’s become a key part of my training calendar.

RiderGrand Slam 2025

I’ve done plenty of rides in SA, but the Grand Slam routes are some of the best marked and best supported. Having the option to choose one loop or go for both made it easy to ride at my own pace.

It’s challenging, but never intimidating.

RiderGrand Slam 2025

The atmosphere is always welcoming and organised. Volunteers are supportive, the signage is clear, and the whole day feels smooth from start to finish. It’s the kind of event that keeps you coming back.

RiderGrand Slam 2025

Consistently one of the best value rides in SA. Great support, friendly riders, well planned routes, and a real sense of achievement at the finish. It sets the standard for community cycling events.
