The 2016 Blue Boost Tour de Stellenbosch

Settle into the saddle and gear up for the third biggest cycling event in the Western Cape

If you’re more into something that requires a bit more energy than a leisurely romantic picnic this Valentine’s Day, then you need to enter the Blue Boost Tour de Stellenbosch road cycling race happening on Sunday, 14 February 2016 at Boschendal Estate. It’s also a great way to stay on track with those lofty New Year’s resolutions to be more active and enjoy more of the beautiful outdoors.

This year the tour celebrates its 26^th birthday and promises participants a picturesque race with just the right amount of pleasure and pain. If you’ve never experienced this race and you’re a keen (and fit) cyclist, you definitely should. The view through the scenic villages and the winelands is breathtaking – in fact, you might also be gasping for breath for a different reason!

There are two routes to choose from. The longer one is definitely for more fit and experienced riders and is 108km in total. This race starts at 6:15am. The shorter route is 54km and starts at 7:30am. Both races start at Boschendal Wine Estate and finish at Pniel Primary School.

TICKETS FOR THE 2016 TOUR DE STELLENBOSCH CYCLE RACE

Pull up your shorts, motivate yourself and get comfy on that saddle!
