The Great Ride

[Elusive]

The Great Ride – Western Cape Cycle Tour has “re-Launched,” with new pricing and an overall new format

 

The tour is aimed at persons wanting to kick-off their cycling season (be it their mountain biking season or road cycling season), with the ideal training camp/ social cycle tour (for example, the Coronation Health Double Century is around the corner and teams now have the perfect opportunity to ride a section of the route together as part of their training). Cyclists will ride an average of 100kms per day, with one the longest stages being 140kms.

 

We have some fantastic lucky draw prizes and goody bags (Musettes), up for grabs and this tour is not ‘cutting corners,’ on the safety elements at all (See: Rolling road-closures and safety escorts below). We also have some South African celebrity personalities joining us along the tour and this too will afford each rider the opportunity to ride and socialise with them.

 

Should you wish to find out more info about the tour, please feel free to contact us and I will be more than happy to discuss any queries you may have pertaining to the tour and your entry. Further to this, should you wish to enter a team through a charity bond, please contact us and we can set this up for you.

Now it looks really nice.

 

Not cheap, but it seems much better value for money.

 

I wish I could do it!
