As you can see, this route sets off from Cape Point, out the gate and on to Plateau Road in the direction of Scarborough. From there is a clear run to Red Hill Road, Pine Haven, past the Lewis Gay Dam, over Black Hill, up Ou Wa Pad, down the Tokai MTB trails (the Beast and Snakes), into the Green Belts, over Kirstenbosch Loop, past Rhodes Memorial, up Devil's Peak to Tafelberg Road, Cable Station, passing Lions Head left and then going all the way to Green Point.
But unfortunately getting started with that option (earlier than November 2021) was put on ice following the devastating fire that left sections of Table Mountain with restricted access and in particular those looking to access the POINT2POINT Challenge MTB Route!
So we dreamt up alternatives and if road riding is your thing, we'd strongly suggest that you try the ROAD Challenge - the YELLOW route. It’s 'all tar' , safe and suitable for any bike running from Cape Point via Red Hill, Black Hill, Ou Kaapse Weg, Constantia Nek, Suikerbossie, Camps Bay to Greenpoint.
And if you are up for an even more scenic road outing/ introduction, you will love the also all tar GREEN LITE Route - from Cape Point via Red Hill, Black Hill, Noordhoek, Chapmans Peak, Hout Bay, Suikerbossie, Camps Bay to Green Point!
To avoid any major disappointment in advance, there’s no trophy or medal* ceremony. Just the satisfaction of having cycled across the Cape Peninsula, between two famous light houses - Cape Point - the South Eastern most point and Green Point - the north western most point - in one day... that's what it's all about!
That said, if you upload your result to the Wall of Fame, and choose to participate in the Challengerboard, we can make a plan to send you a commemorative badge to remind you of your great achievement. Upload your achievement to find out more...
And that's not all... once you've done all 3 POINT2POINT challenge routes, you qualify for a the coveted triple achievers badge and we’ll make sure you get that shipped to you free as a token of our appreciation!
So, who's up for the Challenge ?
