How fit do I need to be for the Cape Peninsula Pedal?

This is our most challenging cycling tour and is best suited to guests with a moderate to good level of fitness who are comfortable riding on public roads. The route includes a number of climbs, but with a support vehicle accompanying the tour, you have the flexibility to ride as much or as little as you feel comfortable with throughout the day.

A support vehicle (SAG wagon) accompanies the tour throughout the day, carrying water, personal belongings, and any items you don't wish to carry while cycling. If you would like to take a break from riding at any point, you are welcome to hop into the vehicle before rejoining the group further along the route.

What type of bicycle is used on this tour?

This tour is designed for road cycling and includes the use of a quality road bike. Hybrid bikes are also available by prior request for guests who prefer a more upright riding position. All bicycles are professionally maintained and fitted to provide a comfortable riding experience.

Will we see the penguins at Boulders Beach?

Yes. The tour includes a stop at the famous Boulders Beach Penguin Colony, home to one of South Africa's best-known colonies of African Penguins. Entry to the boardwalk is optional and not included in the tour price, allowing guests to decide whether they would like to visit the colony up close.

Do I have to cycle the entire route?

No. One of the unique features of this tour is its flexible hop-on, hop-off format. With a support vehicle travelling alongside the group, you can choose to cycle the sections that appeal to you most and ride in the vehicle whenever you'd prefer to rest. This makes the tour suitable for a wider range of fitness levels while still offering an unforgettable Cape Peninsula cycling experience.
