What to Expect on tour: Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch offers a varied cycling experience, with routes that take you along gravel farm roads, through vineyards and across the rolling landscapes surrounding the town. Some sections include climbs and descents, making this a good choice for guests who enjoy a little more variety and challenge in their ride.
