The Cape Rouleur

The Event

A challenging multi-stage cycling experience set against the stunning backdrop of the Cape region.

A sweeping Cape landscape at golden hour with a winding road cutting through rolling green hills and distant mountains under a warm amber sky.

The Ride

The Cape Rouleur delivers a professional-calibre stage race experience designed for amateur cyclists. Riders tackle multiple demanding stages through the Western Cape's most dramatic terrain — from coastal passes to vineyard climbs and rugged interior roads.

Built on the same ethos that defined HotChillee's London–Paris Cycle Tour — first run in 2004 with just 13 riders across three 200km+ stages — The Cape Rouleur brings that spirit of camaraderie and challenge to South Africa. Every stage is fully supported, with ride captains, mechanical assistance, and feed stations along the route.

What sets the event apart:

  • Fully supported multi-stage format with rolling road closures
  • Timed general classification across all stages
  • Ride Captain groups for different pace levels
  • A vibrant rider village and post-stage hospitality
