South Africa’s Kogel Bay

This 115 km ride takes you through some of the most beautiful parts of South Africa. Starting at the coastal town of Gordon’s Bay, you head down south on the easy, slightly undulating beach road towards Pringle Bay, with staggering views out over the Indian Ocean and the surrounding mountains. After returning to Gordon’s Bay, you take the harder roads inland to the world famous vineyards of Stellenbosch and the colonial town of Franschhoek. Here you start the 7 km long climb to Franschhoek Pass (6% average) to finish at the top.
