Carefree days of cycling. Ride. Rest. Repeat.
Get going.
We meet you at Cape Town airport, or at our designated first hotel, and we get to know each other over dinner.
Then, we make sure all bikes are ready, and last minute matters are in hand, and we set off according to the below structure, for our days of pleasure.
Wake-up & breakfast
We wake around 6am and get ready for the day ahead. Your bicycle is ready and checked from the day before. Enjoy breakfast and head to the start area, usually right outside the front door. Your luggage will be transferred to the finish line while you cycle.
Briefing
Gather for a pre-ride briefing and update on the road ahead. We set off promptly at the communicated times (usually 8am or earlier, depending on the venue and speed group) and enjoy the best roads in the Boland and down to the coast.
Cycle
Be sure to look up and soak up the atmosphere every now and then. Enjoy frequent water points and friendly support staff. Roads are clearly marked on GPX tracks and safety vehicles follow. Your ride captains can assist with basic mechanical issues.
Post-stage
Time to relax. Enjoy a cold beer at the finish. Go for a massage where available. Recover and have something to eat. The rest of the afternoon is yours to explore, take a nap or go for a wine tour.
Group dinners
Dinners are included for those who booked fully catered packages with us and it starts early. Enjoy fine wine and local cuisine. Some evenings will provide interaction with ride captains and race organisers. Thereafter off to bed for a well-deserved rest and ample sleep before the next stage.
