“Stellenbosch is undoubtedly one of the oldest, most scenically attractive and historic towns in South Africa. We wanted to uphold the event’s heritage, while highlighting its beautiful route through the iconic winelands and mountains of Stellenbosch.
“The new Stellenbosch Cycle Tour name and logo perfectly aligns with this vision,” said David Bellairs, a director of the Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust.
Liberty – Own your life Rewards has come on board as a sponsor of the event this year.
“We are excited to be a part of the 2014 Stellenbosch Cycle Tour. This involvement, we hope, will provide a springboard to many rewarding events for current and prospective customers,” said Rebecca Eliot, managing Director of the Own your life Rewards division.
The race will take place on November 30 and also features a significant change to the route with the inclusion of the New Helshoogte Pass which takes the route from 97km to 95km.
Entries for the 2014 race are now open, with just under 1 000 still available. Cyclists can visit www.stellenboschcycletour.co.za to enter.
