It’s a traditional final day, all culminating at Lourensford Wine Estate, where a hero’s welcome awaits the tired riders. It’s a short day with a late start, but it’s no free ride to the finish! There are a few final hurdles, like the climb up Nuweberg on forestry roads, with its steep and washed out descent. Once over the Hottentots Mountain Range, riders will get to enjoy the vistas over False Bay, all the way back to Cape Town where their journey began some odd 700km ago. A final steep single track climb and riders can smell home as they enter the Lourensford Bowl for what promises to be yet another emotional Grand Finale.
