ODC 16 is a tough, Dakar-inspired endurance rally navigation route around Pretoria. Starting and finishing in Pretoria East, the Jacaranda Rally ‘R’ takes riders clockwise around Pretoria — including through the De Wildt area — which is exactly why it carries the Jacaranda name.

Expect approximately 10–20% tar, with the balance made up of off-road tracks, single track, open dirt and plenty of sand. This is a proper navigation challenge that demands endurance, focus and commitment.

This is the final ODC event of 2026.

🏍️ RAMPAGE IS NOT ONLY ABOUT RALLY

Rampage is not only about rally, navigation and events.

Over the years, we have helped develop and shape practical tools for riders, riding groups, teams and event organisers.

Not every platform was developed by Rampage, but we often play a pivotal role in shaping its functionality and applying it to real-world riding, group and event needs.

Our rider initiatives include:

🛒 Trading Post
🔧 Rider Service Directory
📍 Wandrr group tracking
🧭 RoadbookRally

Introducing 'Rampage Trading Post' - another rider tool by Rampage 🏍️

A quick, no-fuss place to sell your personal bike gear directly to fellow riders.

👉 Check it out: rallyrampage.com/trading-post

Let's be honest — most of us have piles of bike stuff lying around we don't use anymore. Old helmets, jackets, exhausts, spares... and we'd happily sell it or pass it on if there was an easy way to do it.

But it's actually a mission. Facebook Marketplace turns into a bombardment of random buyers and messages, WhatsApp groups just aren't built for ads (photos everywhere, no proper pricing, messages get lost), and everything else feels too big and general for a small personal item.

So we built Rampage Trading Post — quick to load your item, and you simply share your link with your own group (or not, it's public too). No mess, no back-and-forth explaining what you've got.

It's also a great way to help new riders getting into adventure biking, or even delivery guys running on sub-standard gear, pick up a bargain straight from another rider — no middleman, just buyer and seller.

Rampage takes zero commission 🚫💰 — this is purely a rider service, one we use ourselves too.

📋 A few important notes:

Personal second-hand items only — no business ads or sales.
Products must be your own — no listing on someone else's behalf.
For business advertising, please use another platform.

Renosterkop Rally ‘R’ — Event Report 🏁

The Renosterkop Rally ‘R’ delivered a demanding day of 400+kms adventure riding, endurance and Dakar-inspired navigation across the Gauteng and Limpopo bushveld.

Although it was one of our smallest fields in recent years, the quality of riding and navigation was excellent. Most importantly, the event was completed without any medical incidents or mechanical recoveries.

Riders competed in two separate navigation classes: digital Roadbook and GPX track navigation.

In the GPX class, Marius delivered a fast, clean and accurate run. Wynand completed his first Rampage One Day Challenge and put in a strong performance. We hope to see him taking on the digital roadbook class at a future event.

The digital roadbook class produced a close contest:

🥇 Mark Menton
🥈 Cooper Menton
🥉 Ruben Beetge

Mark and Cooper delivered a disciplined team ride, collecting their waypoints and avoiding penalties. Ruben finished close behind despite a missed waypoint, speed penalties and losing approximately 15 minutes after going off track during Stage 3. His recovery was excellent.

Angelo started later than the field but rode strongly to make up time. Morag worked through navigation challenges during Stage 1 and successfully recovered to reach Moloto before returning to the finish. Marnard’s day ended early after a fuel-related mechanical problem.

Rampage results are based on more than speed. Navigation accuracy, waypoint collection, speed-zone compliance and penalties all contribute to each rider’s final position. Stage scores from each One Day Challenge also count towards the annual Rampage Championship.

The Renosterkop Rally ‘R’ once again proved what a Rampage event is about: long-distance adventure riding, accurate navigation, endurance and the satisfaction of completing a proper rally-style challenge.

Well done to every rider who took part. 🏍️💨

🏁 GAUTENG STAMPEDE 'R' — ODC 14 - DONE AND DUSTED🏁

What a day.

The event started somewhat dramatic with myself being in a head-on accident on the way to the start. There was some confusion after a cancellation message was posted, but the message from the riders was clear — they wanted to ride.

Joey and Alexandre took over the start and briefing, and the guys set off. As always, the ODC veterans showed how rally works, and Mark stepped in to provide route support and quickly got onto it.

The day went splendid — no real mechanical issues and no medical incidents.

18 riders took on the route:
📱 3 navigating GPX on the RBR app
🧭 14 navigating Digital Roadbook

Unfortunately we had 5 cancellations due to medical (mostly flu), and 2 riders who turned back after the cancellation post and missed out. We will make arrangements for them to still ride the route.

The route ran from Mnandi in an anti-clockwise loop around Breedtsnek — mostly off-road, technical, and non-stop riding and navigation for a solid 6–8 hours.

I joined the group at the finish after a trip to the hospital post the car crash, and watched riders come in after a proper day out — riding hard sections and navigating like champions.

Special mention to Angelo and Ruben — both helped at the accident scene early morning, joined the route nearly 2 hours late, and still rode onto the podium for their accuracy.

Reminder:
These are not races.
Speed is not rewarded — consistency, navigation, and accuracy is key.
You can ride within the speed limit and still be ahead.

🏆 *ROADBOOK PODIUM*
🥇 Marnand Strydom — KTM 500 EXC
🥈 Angelo Maranta — KTM 690
🥉 Ruben Beetge — KTM 500

🏆 *GPX PODIUM*
🥇 James Graham — KTM 890 Rally
🥈 Pieter Naude — Husqvarna 701
🥉 Rowlan Lustig — KTM 500 EXC

Great riding all around.

Check out some of the highlight photos from the day — including a few from my crash. 😅📸
