Bike Hub Features Posted March 26, 2021 Share The Cross Cape is a 750km bicycle friendly route from Plettenberg Bay to Stellenbosch. With just over 10 000m of climbing it truly is a gem of a ride. Now it doesn’t just head straight up the N2, but rather takes in some of the best gravel roads and mountain passes that the Garden Route and lower Karoo offer. Earlier this month Rae Trew-Browne went to a solo mission to discover what the Cross Cape route has to offer. If you're following Bike Hub on Instagram or Facebook you'd have seen some snippets of his daily adventures. Here is a photo filled recap of Rae's trip.Click here to view the article mazambaan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W Smith Posted March 26, 2021 Share Looks like a great ride. Amazing how gravel bikes have taken off .When they appeared on the scene they were slated as just another sales gimmick destined to follow the same route as fatbikes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted April 6, 2021 Share wow stunning. definitely one for the bucket list. just one pet peave confession.... I got a slight tick in my neck every foto with his bike lying on the ground.i think there's a hardline distinction between bikepacking and cycletouring - having a kickstand. kickstands are AWESOME for loaded bikes(until they fall over), but it's pretty frowned upon by the velominati type. what you will see is that he knows what he is doing, every single bike on its side is driveside up. ALWAYS driveside up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
