My favourite bike rides

Along some of the most scenic routes in and around the Western Cape, South Africa.

Below is a list of my favourite bike rides I have been on. Some of the routes go inland along majestic mountain passes that are snow-capped in winter. While other motorbike routes pass through some of the world famous Cape wine lands, boasting International award-winning wines. Or perhaps you prefer the seaside routes passing though quaint villages.?

Here and there the ride takes the rider on a thrilling experience - whether you choose between a 500m long curvaceous bridge looming 600m above the ground and hairpin bends along steep mountain passes; or barrier less windy seaside roads that seem to balance precariously on rocky cliffs.

You could ride the routes alone or in a group - although perhaps, like me, you would prefer the company of your friends to share these magical moments with.

Special note: Though I ride a road bike, you will find that the routes would suit touring bikes as well, only at a more relaxed pace.

Happy riding.!
