  1. Farhad is a passionate road and mountain biker and managing director of Old Mutual Wealth, the business that partnered South Africa’s premier long distance amateur road bike race and is adding real value to riders. When the annual Double Century no longer had a sponsor and was cancelled by lockdown protocols, many feared the holy […] View full article
  2. Now that the event is officially going ahead, think a 2020 thread is appropriate! Going to be interesting seeing the vibe at the race this year. A few less teams, smaller teams, no picnics and fastest starting first. Now to get some new threads made in time
  3. Just spotted that the 2019 edition sold out in 10 minutes, this was after 3 rounds of entries, PPA, corporate and general. Obviously some events are still really popular! Looks like we have 5 teams entered For those that like to remind themselves of those 3 little bumps at the end, here is the route: https://www.strava.com/clubs/21210/group_events/554512
  4. Hey guys, I am going to do the DC with my team who all arrive in Cape Town earlier that Friday morning(23 Nov). I was hoping someone out there has a later flight like me and could help me out with a lift to Swellendam? 23 Nov 17:00 Cape Town.
  5. Event Name: Coronation Double Century 2017 When: 25 November 2017 Where: Swellendam, Western Cape Category: Road The Coronation Double Century is an annual, 202 kilometre team cycle race that is limited to 250 teams, and takes place on 25 November 2017. Participating teams can again look forward to starting and finishing in the picturesque town of Swellendam in the Western Cape. The familiar route will also see competing teams complete the most challenging climbs (the Tradouw Pass and Op de Tradouw) within the first 60 kilometres of the race. From Swellendam, cyclists follow the R324 through Suurbraak and over Tradouw Pass towards Barrydale. A left turn onto the R62 leads them to the challenging 7 kilometre Op de Tradouw stretch, before making their way to Montagu. The route then snakes through Cogmanskloof towards Ashton and Robertson, before winding left onto the R317 towards Bonnievale, and finishing in Swellendam. The cycling equivalent of an ultra-marathon, the Coronation Double Century is more than just a cycle race and all about camaraderie and team spirit. Above all, it is a hard race and participants need to have put in the necessary training to finish in comfort. Teams must reach the finish by 16h30 and there will be cut-off points along the route.

  6. A long, one-day stage race, such as the Coronation Double Century, has a slightly different packing list than for your regular road event. Along with plenty of tubes, chain links and even derailleur hangers, your team will want to have the following: Click here to view the article
  7. The Coronation Double Century is no Saturday morning coffee ride. You have to be fit and you have to be prepared. We speak to Johann le Roux, the only CDC participant to have completed all 22 events, about what it takes to get his team over the finish line. Click here to view the article
  8. Hi, Need advice on a comfortable saddle to purchase for a Double century type ride? I find that riding with my Sella Italia SLR Carbonia is not doing it for me over distances of 150km. I need to know based from experienced riders what works for them over long distances such as DC or Epic rides. I know there are MTB specific saddles but would you recommend a specific brand for road bikes. I am looking for recommendations on make, model and whether it is ideal for integrated seat posts (fit for purpose)? Thank you in advance...

    DC Accommodation

    Hi Our team were fortunate enough to secure an entry for this years DC. Now for accommodation, and it looks like most places are already fully booked. If anyone know of accommodation (or reserved accommodation and did not get an entry ) please pm me urgently. Thank you, much appreciated.
  10. Hi, we might need a rider for the DC due to an injury. I will know by end of today, but pretty sure. Aiming for 6:30 and to get 12 over the line. Everything is paid for, but you will have to pay R200-00 for substitution or ride with the other guys chip. Send PM or mail if you are interested or know of anyone. Our starting time is 07:00 so you can even sleep nice and late!
  11. Hi, We need one person to our DC team. Estimate an 8 hour DC Please let me know if you are interested?
  12. We are looking for a couple of riders that will be capable of riding sub 6:30 on the day. I got a couple of sponsors on board so everything should be covered. Kit, accommodation and entry. Riders need to join most weekend rides to bond as team and you are sure everyone is on par. Most rides will be from Bottelary with pickup in Stellenbosch. We are doing the Franschhoek route this Saturday. Drop me a mail should you be interested and I'll send details. Cheers, Invite.pdf
