Mlamleli Chovela and Afikile Sitheto from the Northern Cape love the Cape Town Cycle Tour for some unique reasons! They enjoy the endurance challenge of our ride (the only hill in the Northern Cape, after all, is an anthill) and the breathtaking scenery along the route. “Last year was my fourth Cycle Tour,” says Mlamleli. “I started in 2018; I enjoy the pain and suffering that goes into riding 109km, but beyond that, it’s the views that I love.” Afikile adds, “I like the culture, I like the pain (of a long ride). I like to get away from the workplace, to enjoy the scenery and explore.”

✨📍Iconic spots along our beautiful route #4
And so, our paths must part. The 109km Cape Town Cycle Tour heads out through Muizenberg - scene of world-famous sea battles - the fishing hamlet of Kalk Bay and on to Simon's Town, home of our navy and no stranger, itself, to sea warfare a couple of centuries ago. The heritage-filled 42km route turns back on itself, through the Constantia Vineyards, Up Wynberg Hill again and down to the wonderful men and women who helped save our mountain from their Newland’s fire base.

Read more about these iconic places on our website, link in bio.
