East Side Classic returns to Carnival City

This summer, the East Side Classic returns to Carnival City on November 1. The route is tailor-made for fast times on rolling hills – with three steep kickers to test cyclists’ stamina. It’s also an opportunity for youngsters to race a criterium on closed, safe roads. And because this is only three weeks before Ride Joburg, it’s a great way to test yourself and get race-ready.
