Cycling South Africa -The Experience
Imagine flying over the iconic Table Mountain and, upon landing, being met at the airport by your hosts, not some uninterested transfer driver. We will assist you with the process of getting you and your gear through the airport and onto our air conditioned shuttle bus.
Your flight may have been in economy class, but with us it’s 1st class all the way! We’ll drive you straight to your Bed and Breakfast where you can freshen up. The rest of the day will involve assembling your bikes. Afterwards you can get to know the other folks on tour over an ice cold drink or why not get right to it with a quick ride on Table Mountain? This would offer you the best possible visual introduction to Cape Town that one could ever wish for.
For the mountain bikers, we can even ride our first bit of gnarly (yes, gnarly!) single track in Cape Town as well!
Imagine then, every day after a hearty breakfast, being whisked off via the most amazing scenic route for the best cherry-picked cycling South Africa can boast, all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the sights of our beautiful country, and when you get there enjoy the ride of your life!
At lunch time, a meal is ready and waiting for you at a predetermined spot (usually somewhere on the trail) - lots of high energy food and fresh fruit, perfect for refuelling for the ride home! The afternoon is spent as you please, be it relaxing back at base, touring one of the many sightseeing attractions in the Cape, or even going on another ride! What could be better than finishing your day, drink in hand, watching an African sunset silhouetting Table Mountain? On rest days you will be able to experience a multitude of South Africa’s wonders. Africa is synonymous with wildlife so we take you out on at least one ‘Safari day’ when time permits.
Could it be that easy? Well of course it is! This is just a taster of what a day with iRide Africa could be like - we prefer to keep it flexible and plan your trip around the weather and your needs to ensure that you get the best cycling and experiences into every day. We know what it’s like to travel with a bike, so you can rely on our invaluable local knowledge to ensure you get the best value for your money every step of the way, from competent and insightful hosts and mountain bike guides, to fantastic accommodation every night.
C’mon, life is for living!
