International participants always start between 7.20 and 7.35 am. This has two advantages; it is still cool in the morning and the South Africans who started earlier have qualified with good times. This means that anyone aiming for a time of around 3.45 hours will have good riders in the groups that form.
The journey to the start of the Cape Town Cycle Tour is only 6 kilometres. The first 20 km are a brisk ride on the closed city motorway to the False Bay coast. The beautiful coastal road through Muizenberg, St James, Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek and Simonstown is unfortunately spoilt by the wind, which usually blows from the front. This makes the journey northwards along the west side of the peninsula all the more speedy. Scarborough and Misty Cliffs lie on the azure blue Atlantic. The spectators cheer you on, accompanied by drums, as you pass Masiphumelele and then comes the most beautiful stretch of South African coastline, the 7 km up and down Chapmans Peak Drive. The final climb is over Suikerbossie Hill and then a brisk ride through the suburbs of Camps Bay and Clifton to the finish. From there it is only 3 km back to your accommodation.
We are happy to take care of your registration for the Cape Town Cycle Tour.
