il Classico 

A Classics Bicycle Race right here in the Cape!

Join us in the lead-up to the Cape Town Cycle Tour for two days dedicated to celebrating and admiring beautiful classic bikes in the picturesque village of Riebeek Kasteel. 

Magical Kloovenburg Estate hosts us for the weekend and besides their gorgeous, family friendly venue, they have a wide selection of bountiful brekkies; perfect pizzas; kick-ass coffee; blissful beers; wonderful wines and outstanding olives to keep the fun flowing! (was that enough alliteration for everyone :)

So join us for 2 days of classics:

• Thursday 5th March will consist of an all tar affair with 90kms of gorgeous quiet tar roads.

• Thursday evening will be a concourse event where we can spend time admiring all the classic beauties in attendance.

• Friday 6th March will see us tackle an Eroica style route with 60km of mixed tar and smooth gravel

If you don't have a classic bike [although we're not too strict, anything before 1999 counts!] you're still welcome to join us for any of the routes. 

Start Times for both days:

• Batch 1: Classic Bikes pre 1999 - 8:00

• Batch 2: Old Bikes 2000 to 2010 - 8:10

• Batch 3: Modern Bikes - 8:20

The racing works on a handicap system, so 1st over the line wins!
