Well done to our lead guide, Jennie Stenerhag, for winning the biggest (and most scenic) road race in South Africa!
This weekend was 'The Big One' for cyclists and Cape Town was absolutely full up with riders from all over the world as they descended on the Mother City for the mother of all races. Thirty five thousand (yes, 35 000!) cyclists take part in this annual road race of 110 km around the Cape peninsula, the biggest road race in the world.
Jennie rode a brilliant race in the most testing conditions this race has ever been held in. Winds up to 55km/h blasted through Cape Town, tearing down banners and bowling over cyclists even when they were just standing at the start line! The ladies finish came down to a sprint as it usually does and after a few replays of video footage Jennie was awarded with the number one spot for 2009 and some well deserved national TV coverage. Well done Jennie! This is on top of an already great season in South Africa, where she has won the Burger cycle race, the Herald VW Cycle tour as well as a few podiums and wins in the Alpha Pharm Seeding Series.
We are hosting a Cape Argus Cycle specific tour in 2010, so if you would like to join us then contact us ASAP and we will reserve your place!
