PARYS AUGUST 2026. WHAT. A. DAY. 💚🚴♂️🔥
Huge turnout. Massive vibe.
To every rider who showed up, backed their group, helped another rider, suffered through the hard bits and brought the gees all the way to Parys… THANK YOU. You made the day what it was.
To our Bike Barn crew, captains, drivers, water point teams and everyone working behind the scenes, you guys were absolute machines. There are a lot of moving parts between Alberton and Parys, and somehow you made them all move in the same direction. 😅👏
And then there are our sponsors and suppliers.
The businesses who gave prizes, food, fuel, sweets, vouchers, hampers, refreshments, water point support and plenty of the little things riders probably didn’t even realise were happening behind the scenes.

From keeping a water point stocked, to 50 bags of ice keeping things cold, bananas and banana bread keeping legs moving, wors, sweets and drinks, through to massages, hair appointments, Botox, padel, vouchers, hampers, cycling goodies and prizes that turned prize giving into an event of its own… every contribution mattered.
You didn’t simply sponsor something. You became part of the crew and this ride.
And judging by the messages, photos, videos and sore legs coming through afterwards, it was one hell of a day. 🫶
To our sponsors, suppliers, crew and every single participant:
THANK YOU FOR MAKING PARYS AUGUST 2026 WHAT IT WAS.
Now give the media team a minute because there is A LOT coming. 👀📸🎥
The photos.
The videos.
The moments we missed.
And probably a few moments some of you hoped we missed. 😂
Watch this space.
The Bike Barn Crew 💚
