CHOOSE YOUR CHARITY! Open Challenges are open to anyone wanting to raise money for any charity, whether it’s a large national organisation or your local hospice or appeal.
South Africa is a land of incredible contrast and beauty. It possesses a vast array of landscapes; from dense tropical bush to open desert and beautiful coastline.
Our ride takes us along the stunning Garden Route; the aim being to reach the most southerly point in Africa at Cape Agulhas - where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet. En route we may see dolphins, penguins and even southern right whales.
We cycle around 400km through indigenous forest, farmland, mountains and alongside deserted white beaches, and then celebrate our wonderful achievement with time in Cape Town.
