Not Riding this Year? Be Part of the Action!

Penned into the cycling events calendar for the second Sunday each March, the Cape Town Cycle Tour is as much fun to watch as it is to ride. Or more fun, depending on your need to expose your derriere to one of those tiny saddles…

If you’re not one of the tens of thousands of cyclists taking part in this year’s Cape Town Cycle Tour, pack a picnic, slap on some sunblock and come cheer on the riders. Find the best viewing spots along the route below.

Protecting Our Environment, Supporting the Ride
  • Do not waste water – as much as the cyclists may want it, don’t use your hosepipe to cool them down.
  • This is a NON-SMOKING event. Do not throw cigarette butts anywhere. Fires can take hold in an instant in the Cape’s hot, dry March weather.
  • You may not make fires along the route (this includes open and gas fires).
  • Stash your trash – if there isn’t a bin or Chuck Zone nearby carry it until you find one.
  • Ignore any baboons that may cross your path and do not feed them! Keep food out of sight.
  • Do not remove or break rocks, pick plants or feed any of the wildlife.
  • Be mindful of fynbos: when you drive out to support the cyclists along the route be careful where you park your car so as not to cause any damage to the indigenous flora.
