Cycling from Knysna to Franschhoek in South Africa

On 4 March 2014 our cycling group (two riders and two guides who alternated driving the support van) left Kynsna along the coast in the Western Cape province of South Africa, on a four-day trip towards the west and Cape Town. We rode into Franschhoek on Friday, took one day off to get our registration and rest up, and then competed in the Cape Argus Class on Sunday, 9 March.

The trip was organized by Escape Cycle Tours: http://www.escapecycletours.com/ , which is an operator that I have used three times now. Great outfit and I enthusiastically recommend them for wonderful two-wheeled adventures in South Africa.

Here were the routes:
