Turn right towards Franschhoek, cross the Berg River Bridge and then turn left past the Drakenstein Prison towards Paarl. A short loop through the outskirts of Paarl takes cyclists back onto the R101 through Klapmuts, left onto the R304 and back to the finish via Spier, then Annandale Road and R44.
The 62km route goes through Stellenbosch and continues along the undulating R44 towards the 4-way stop at Klapmuts, where cyclists turn left onto the R101 and then follow the same route back as the long route.
The 22km route goes into Stellenbosch, turns left at the Dorp Street intersection near the Station and then follows the same route as the longer routes to finish near Technopark.

DIRECTIONS TO VENUE:
From Cape Town, take the N2 to Somerset West. Take the Stellenbosch (R310) off-ramp. Turn right onto the Annandale Road and left onto the R44 direction Stellenbosch. Continue past the De Zalze Golf Course and Technopark will be on your left.

NOTES:
Please do not park on the R44 as ample parking is available in Technopark
