Steve Thomas

The route is at the heart of any cycling event. It should challenge, inspire and reward every rider. The man behind Nedbank Gravel Burn’s route is a true explorer. Steve owns and runs one of the country’s top cycling tour operators, and a glance at a heat map of the roads and trails he’s covered, whether with clients or on his own adventures, would show hot spots all over the globe, and South Africa would appear almost entirely red. As a history buff, he has a story for every corner and Nedbank Gravel Burn riders can expect to hear many of them next October.
