If you're looking for something totally out of the box for the adrenaline-junkie dad, head to Gansbaai for a weekend of cycling at Lomond's YETI gravel raid. What is a gravel raid? "It's a multi day bicycle race on gravel roads – just better and cooler, because it’s in winter! But seriously it’s better and cooler," according to Lomond. Cycle on some of the Agulhas Coast and Overberg’s most legendary gravel roads. To make it even more exciting, they've also thrown a winter rock concert into the mix!
