The Houw Houk Tour gives you the opportunity to cycle some of the W2W RACE routes. The Tour also aims to let you explore and experience what a multi-stage event is all about and offers a relax and supportive atmosphere as no timing is done.
Stage 1 starts at 08h00 on Saturday 3 May 2014 and finishes at the Houw Hoek Inn. This stage includes the Thandi, Paul Cluver, Korteshoven and Houw Hoek single tracks. Stunning new single tracks have been added at Thandi and Paul Cluver; Witklippieskloof, Raka, Swing, Kransvoel, Ark, Cobra, Mamba, Boomslang and Pofadder. If you don't have the technical skills and stomach for the Mamba, Pofadder and Houw Hoek switchbacks near the Finish, settle for the non technical alternative routes.
Stage 2 starts same time on Sunday 4 May 2014 from the Houw Hoek Inn. The route takes you down the historic Katpass, along the Botriver, on single tracks that link the four historic cottages on Bot river farm, along the Karwyderskraal gravel road. At the end of this road you get a beautiful view of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, down the Valley on single tracks, up Hamilton Russel, onto Rotary View Drive to get another stunning view of Walker Bay) and the opportunity to stop at the Hamilton Russel Celebration table to have a good glass of wine to celebrate the achievement with your friends. Then it's mostly down to the finish at Hermanuspietersfontein Winery, along the Onrus River single tracks.
