Cycling route from Cape Town to Hermanus?

[Skoffels]

I live in Rondebosch, and my family has a holiday house in Hermanus.

 

I'd like to ride there for some distance training when we go for weekends. Ultimately i'd join onto the coastal road - does anyone know of a good route from Rondebosch without cycling on the N2?

If you work one out, let me know! Also keen to do that ride, but really don't think there's a decent way to get to the coast road... It's only really N2 or the road from Muizenberg (which I really wouldn't do on my bike).

Go via Northern suburbs, through Stellenbosch, Strand, Gordons Bay, then follow the coast to Arabella, turn right to Hermanus. Be ready for some serious miles though.

Baden Powel drive runs along False Bay to somewhere near Somerset West. I dont think its a safe road to ride on.

 

The other option may be to head up to Milterton, over to Durbanville and then down to Somerset West via Kuilsriver. Quite a detour though.

Easiest for you would be Rondebosch - Pinelands via Raapenberg Rd - Forest Drive) - Jan Smuts Dr southwards - Viking Way through Epping - Vanguard Drive/M7 northbound - Voortrekker Rd (R102/becomes van Riebeeck) all the way to R44/Broadway Blvd Somerset West - via Strand around Clarens Drive to Kleinmond, etc and on to Hermanus.
