The world's most prestigious mountain bike stage race, and you cannot ride it alone. Eight back-to-back days, ~707km and ~15,900m of climbing across South Africa's Western Cape, ridden as a two-person team.
The route
A prologue plus seven stages, most between 76 and 140km with 1,750 to 2,750m of climbing each, over technical singletrack, rocky jeep track and long mountain passes. Your time stops when the second rider crosses, and daily cutoffs are enforced.
Mid-March, Cape Town / Meerendal → Stellenbosch
Highs around 26°C and lows around 16°C, but it has dropped to 11°C. Rain on 16% of days.
