RIDE THE CAPE

Arrive at Cherry Glamping luxury tented accommodation in the Elgin Valley. Enjoy a light lunch and refreshments before setting off on a 18km ride with rolling hills and beautiful scenery as you make your way to the wine and appetizers water point stop at Paul Cluver.

Even though we have wine at the waterpoint, you will still get a kick of excitement to make sure your skill is on par for the rest of the weekend.

Day 2’s route takes you onto technical yet beautifully maintained trails, showcasing the very best of what Paul Cluver has to offer, before linking up with the Oak Valley trails. Expect sweeping views as you pass through the famous Oak Valley flower gardens, including a ride alongside one of their impressive 16-hectare greenhouse sections.

From there, you’ll wind through the rolling Elgin landscape, surrounded by vineyards, orchards, and pine forests. As the ride draws to a close, a welcome stop awaits at a Texan-style smokehouse for a well-earned lunch, before cruising the final 3 km back to camp, completing a memorable 46 km day on the bike.

Today’s ride gains elevation, rewarding you with sweeping views across the Elgin Valley as you move through lush forests and impeccably maintained trails. It’s your final day on the bike, so take in the last stretches of vineyard scenery along a picturesque yet deceptively challenging 40 km route.

Your water point stop is at the Elgin Railway Market — a former apple warehouse transformed into a vibrant steampunk-style marketplace. Pause here, enjoy the tasty offerings, and take a moment to admire the intricate industrial details inside this unique space.
