Mamil Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Received this mailer for next year Following an amazing 3rd edition of the Tour du Cap, entries are now open for the 2025 Tour, which takes place on 3-7 March 2025 in the lead-up the Cape Town Cycle Tour. Riders who enter before Friday 29 March will pay a preferential entry fee of R3600 before the fee reverts to the normal price of R4300. To enter, go to https://myactive.cc/TourduCap2025 The tour route and format will remain the same for 2025 – all the route info is on www.tourducap.co.za To ease rider logistics, the tour is based at Kleine Vallej in Wellington for all 5 days, and all stages start at Kleine Valleij. All the stages also conclude at Kleine Valleij, with the exception of the queen stage 4, which finishes at the top of Du Toitskloof Pass in Paarl. The tour features two mountain top finishes, two flat finishes and an individual hill climb time trial. The 2024 route features more substance and the difficulty and length has increased. The hill climb time trail (stage 2) takes place on Bainskloof Pass and Bainskloof also plays host to the finish of the opening stage. The 2nd and 5th stages will dish up something for the sprinters while the 4th stage will likely be the decider over 132km and 1983m of vertical ascent, finishing at the top of Du Toitskloof Pass. The total distance is 464km while the elevation is 5245m. With the tour based at Kleine Valleij in Wellington, it eases rider logistics by vesting at the same venue every day. Riders can ideally book accommodation in Wellington for all five days. Once accommodation in Wellington is full, Paarl is also a nice option, only 13km from the venue. Entries for the tour are limited to 250 and are filling up nicely. For all the Tour info, click to www.tourducap.co.za For enquiries, email denishuman.cycling@outlook.com Jewbacca and DieselnDust 2

I am WAY off the pace, but may be less useless after getting ready for November Come @Jewbacca... It's an absolute blast. GC racing, small group, mostly friendly people ... "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may" ... "Tempus fugit" ... "...and at my back I always hear, time's winged chariot drawing near" and all that jazz. Seriously I don't think de Villiers cycling is very good at marketing but the event adds something to the local racing scene so I want to support it. peetwindhoek and Jewbacca 1 1

peetwindhoek Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Been wanting to do this ever since a friend told me you cannot call yourself a roadie if you have not done this. Or was he referring to Tour de Boland... Not sure. And then Mamil's updates this year has made me seriously "lus". But then I will not be able to DesestDash this year if I want to do Tour de Cap. Jewbacca, DieselnDust and Mamil 3

spano Posted November 18 Posted November 18 Does anyone know if this race is taking place next year? We're a group of 4 that registered and will be traveling from Germany to take part. The riders list has not been updated in many months - it still does not show our entries. I've emailed the organizers twice already but no response. mikkelz and Zebra 1 1
Bicycle Courier Posted November 19 Posted November 19 Hi Spano - we're doing this one, a week-long road bike tour during that same week prior to the Cape Town Cycle Tour, a tour, not a race - and fully catered with airport transfers, meals and accommodation - or DIY options for those who prefer to ride along and do their own thing off the bike. Check out TOURDEBOLAND on https://cyclotourism.co.za/ - with both local and international participants.
