UCT Plett Tours

[ZeroPlay]

If you have any photos of the UCT Plett Tours of the 1990s, can you please scan and post some here? I rode one in (I think) 1993 and it was an absolute jol! That might actually have been the last one. I have no photos - only great memories.

 

They were organised by UCT Cycle Club, although they were open to non-members too. The idea was to cycle from Cape Town to Plett, arriving in Plett in time to celebrate New Year there. The route would go through the Klein Karoo. If you weren't fit coming into that tour, you would certainly be at the end. After the Plett Tour, the local Cape Town fun rides tended to have a lot of Plett Tour riders featuring in the top finshers.
