Route descriptions
Route and Venue Maps
108km & 64km road race:
With the roadworks a thing of the past, we return to the 2011 route.
Riders on the 108km route leave the Durbanville Racecourse and pedal via back roads down St Johns Rd. Turn right at circle at Vissershok towards Durbanville centre then left at next circle onto Koeberg Road (which becomes Adderley Street). After 700meters we turn right into Plein street and immediately left into Protea Road. After 1.7 km we turn right into Boland street and 700meters further left into Wellington Road. Now the open road awaits. Turn right on the R 312 towards Fisantekraal. Continue over the R304, Klipheuwel road, towards the R44. (the 64km riders turn left at the crossing).
Turn left onto the R44 and continue towards Wellington for 6 km and then left onto the Voor Perdeberg Road. After 10km, we turn left at the T-junction and past the Paardeberg Correctional facility. 5km later we turn right right towards Malmesbury. Then turn left onto the R302. Turn right at Silos on R302. Turn right onto the Philadelphia road, pass the Adderley road turn-off and continue over the narrow bridge and then turn left onto the Van Schoorsdrift/Old Malmesbury road. Turn left onto the N7 (caution: traffic for 2.6 km) and left again onto the challenging Vissershok road. Cross the Vissershok/Malanshoogte 4-way stop and start the 3 km rise, concluding with the infamous Vissershok climb. Turn right into Odendaal Street for the last climb up to the finish, with a 2 km neutral zone back to the Racecourse.
