THE RACE WITH SERIOUS GEES!
Welcome to the 2024 FNB Wines2Whales
It’s amazing what we have got right since the 2023 September floods. We got it so right that I can confidently say that the 2024 FNB Wines2Whales routes are the best yet. How so?
We had to build 15 x newer and longer bridges, as the floods excavated small streams into 20-to-30-meter ravines. New bridge building techniques, such as DaVinci and suspension, were applied to cross these monsters. Magic new sections were added, against steep slopes, to get to the narrowest crossings. Unfortunately, the Onrust river not only flooded its banks, but swept it away completely, including the Onrust trail towards Hermanus. Fortunately, this opened a new and scenic trail opportunity, towards Benguela Cove, our new and luxury finish destination.
We look forward to welcoming you and to proudly exhibit all of our hard work and creativity, which will again ensure a most fun experience on your bike. A huge thanks to Cape Trails and the many landowner partnerships, that have made this trail revolution possible. The GEES will still be on the same SERIOUSNESS level.
Stay fit, safe and have fun!
