Stage 6

Stay (Faraway, So Close!)

Stay… the final finish line is far away, but so close. The penultimate stage treats Lourensford and its neighbouring farms like a mountain biking playground in a day of discovery. The slopes of the Helderberg Mountain and its foothills – which stretch through neighbouring farms – provide ample opportunities for tired legs to be tested. While spectacular trails through vineyards, fynbos and orchards cut through soils of over 21 types, from deep red clay to shallow alluvial gravel. It is a day when the Grand Finale looms, but one where so much remains to be ridden.
