Our story

WHAT IS CABC?

CABC started in 2008 as the Cederberg Adventure Bike Challenge. Over the years it evolved beyond one annual adventure-bike gathering into a series of events, road trips and challenges built around exploration, camaraderie and getting out there.

Today CABC includes motorcycles, 4x4s, tar, gravel, endurance rides, discovery challenges and the occasional idea that seemed perfectly sensible when we thought of it.

Why we do it

THE CABC WAY

EXPLORE

There is always another road, another place and another story.

CHALLENGE YOURSELF

Sometimes the challenge is distance. Sometimes navigation. Sometimes economy. Sometimes simply finding the place.

DO IT TOGETHER

Motorcycles, 4x4s, friends, strangers who become friends, roadside stops and stories afterwards.

WE'VE DONE SOME STRANGE THINGS…

CABC is not limited to the annual calendar. Every now and then another idea escapes into the wild.

RIDDLE RIDE

Location-based riddles, hidden places and a reason to take the long way around.

Churches, forgotten corners and a trail built around finding the next landmark.

ACES HIGH

A different kind of challenge where the best hand mattered as much as the road.

Past challenge

20 PASSES CHALLENGE

Mountain roads, elevation and twenty excuses to point the bike at another pass.

Past challenge

JIMNY CHALLENGE

Small 4x4s, big adventures and proof that CABC does not always need two wheels.

THE NEXT ADVENTURE DOESN'T START WHEN YOU ARRIVE. IT STARTS WHEN YOU DECIDE TO GO.
