MichaelC35 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Hello guys, I am from Hong Kong. I am travelling in Cape Town and just got my bike sorted. I'll be riding in all 4 days upcoming. Is there any group rides or endurance rides available around Cape Town? My friends told me not to ride alone and riding in a group is the safest bet out on the roads. please leave messages under and thanks for taking time reading my not so good English Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelC35 Posted August 30, 2023 Share im based around university of cape town, so not far from the CBD region. I am staying til monday, so preferrably riding from thursday til then I plan to ride shorter distance first just to understand the roads and traffic, and then maybe go longer during the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbp2007 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Pedal Power arranges Saturday group rides, usually with a backup vehicle. https://pedalpower.org.za/events/ppa-social-rides/ DM me for more details. I believe this Saturday’s intermediate group plans to start in Newlands, close to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this Saturday’s intermediate group plans to start in Newlands, close to you. This seems like a good starting point. If you’re very strong then they’ll probably be too slow for you though. Will you have a car? If you’re mobile then I would suggest you park at the Virgin Active in Greenpoint and ride from there. You’ll see plenty of cyclists on the road but I can send you a few routes if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuCke3 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Hey Michael, Good to bump into you yesterday matey. I will post some details of group rides coming up tomorrow with starting points, starting times and distances. My suggestion would be that you definitely so the infamous beach route through Camps Bay, Hout Bay, Chapmans Peak etc. When in CPT, its a bucket list event. The PPA group may just do that route on Saturday and Sunday, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
