If you want to ride from Green Point, I think this is superb. Not "gravel" per definition but we ride our gravel bites as there was a fair amount of dirt road.

We rode via High Level, Camps Bay, over Suikerbossie and Chapmans to Noordhoek and back. Breezy, but nice.

My opinion - the most scenic/smooth gravel in the area is north of Wellington to Hermon/Riebeeck Kasteel.

 

Thanks Skubarra, Mongoose posted a route which we have loaded and will ride it early on Friday or else Saturday morning.

I see now - yes that 60km one is exactly what I suggested. And again, just before you turn back there is a decent halfway cyclist friendly coffee stop.

Yeah, you can’t miss it (it’s very obvious on the right just after you through Hermon)

Alternatively, migrate to the Witwatersrand. Everything's gravel .......................
