Events Bot Posted January 8, 2019 Share Event Name: Medihelp Stellenbosch Cycle TourWhen: 20 January 2019Where: Val de Vie Estate, Western CapeCategory: RoadThe Medihelp Stellenbosch Cycle Tour will take place on Sunday, 20 January 2019 and, while the start (and finish) venue has changed to Val de Vie Estate, the 102-kilometre route remains largely unchanged. It will still feature some 1285-metres of total ascent, but the major climb of the New Helshoogte Pass, which used to come shortly after the start, will now challenge riders near the end. The rest of the route takes in the finest winelands and mountain scenery of the Boland – and offers every opportunity for a fast time and the opportunity to improve your seeding for the Cape Town Cycle Tour. To enter, visit www.stellenboschcycletour.co.za. Entries cost R330 for PPA members and R350 for non-PPA members. To stay informed of developments of the Stellenbosch Cycle Tour, join their Facebook Page at www.facebook.com/stellenboschcycletour or follow them on Instagram at @medihelpstellenboschcycletour or Twitter at @StellenboschCT.

Skubarra Posted January 8, 2019 Share Still a bit worried about the traffic at Val de Vie but with Helshoogte near the end its going to be a very different kind of challenge. Looking forward to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last corner on the downhill going back to the start of Helshoogte saw quite a few people slide out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billygoat0523 Posted January 13, 2019 Share slid out in 2017, trying to avoid another cyclist that slid out. gear levers took a bit of beating, but bike was okay to make it to the end. that said, i "prefer" the wind, sorta. the long term weather still looks good for sunday, but it can change quickly.
