About riding in South Africa
South Africa combines coastal roads, mountain passes and open interior, with a strong mass-participation cycling culture. Seasons are reversed from the northern hemisphere, and wind can be a major factor, especially around the Cape.
Estimated finish times
The route is about 60 miles. Here is the moving time at a steady average speed. It is a flat-ground baseline: climbing, wind, stops at aid stations and group riding all move the real number, so treat it as a starting range.
| Average speed | Moving time |
|---|---|
| 10 mph | 6h 02m |
| 12 mph | 5h 01m |
| 14 mph | 4h 18m |
| 16 mph | 3h 46m |
| 18 mph | 3h 21m |
Most recreational riders average 12–16 mph on rolling terrain in a group, and less on hilly routes.
