Cape Town to Wellington route

[sano]

Hi all,

 

This would be my first post on the forum

 

I am wanting to do a distance trip from Cape Town at around 75km in length (basically one days riding). Has anyone done something of this sort? I was thinking of heading to Wellington, which is the right distance, but I'm not to sure about the route.

 

From what I can see, there are two route options:

• Old Paarl road along side the N1
  
• R312 from Wellington Road
  

 

According to Google Maps, they both look pretty open to ride on. Does anyone know more about these roads?

 

Otherwise, does anyone know any good distance trips from Cape Town to wherever?

 

Thanks guys!

Are you riding from the city centre itself?
