If you’re a cycling enthusiast, you have to think about joining the massed ranks of the annual Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour that takes place around Cape Town in March of every year. South Africa’s oldest and biggest cycle race, this is one not to be missed!. The first event took place on 28 October 1978 and attracted 525 entrants. Since then it has grown to be the biggest single-day cycle race in the world and attracts around 35 000 entrants.
The route takes competitors over some of the hardest and yet most scenic road in and around the city of Cape Town. This cycle tour in South Africa is without doubt one of the most beautifully tough cycle races in the world. To complicate matters, the April weather in the Cape is often unpredictable with rain and high winds an occasional unexpected hazard on the route
