The route for next year’s Bestmed Tour de Boland, taking place from March 2 to 6, has been unveiled.
The Tour caters for all CSA categories as well as open/seeded fun ride categories and presents four road stages and a 53km individual time trial. The field will be limited to 500 riders.
All of South Africa’s pro teams will be present as well as a strong contingent of international riders, including a solid line-up from multiple world and Cape Epic champion Christoph Sauser.
Stage one will be from Franschhoek to Worcester, via Villiersdorp. After a fan-fare ride through Franschhoek, the killer 2014 final climb awaits – Franschhoek Pass. Stage two will move from Worcester to Op-die-Berg, via Ceres. The stage starts with rolling hills and ends with two signature climbs. The third stage will be a individual time trial from Op-die-Berg to Tulbagh, via Ceres.
Moving on to stage four, riders will start in Tulbagh and finish in Riebeek-kasteel, via Piketberg. There are no climbs, just rolling hills after the first 60km. The last stage will start in Riebeek-kasteel and end in Paarl, via Wellington.
The total distance of the Tour is 430km with a total gain of 7 128 metres.
