The Cape Epic 2017 will take riders through 691 km of South Africa’s Western Cape countryside and up a lot of hills: the accumulated vertical gain will be 15,400 m. 1,300 mountain bikers, amateurs and pros alike, start in 2-man teams. Magnificent mountain landscapes, wide-open plains and indigenous forests await them on the route from Meerendal Wine Estate over Hermanus, Greyton and Elgin to Val de Vie Estate.

This official UCI status makes it a highlight on the professional racer’s calendar.
