Busy, flat first 20 mi. Then 20 mi of stunning scenery over the mountain pass on new pavement with little traffic. Followed by 25 mi of heavy truck traffic to Tulbagh. Step back into time in Tulbagh. A U-shaped route map takes us through Riebeek down to Hermon then onto the R46 wide yellow lane shoulder road to Wellington. After a DIY stop at the COLE eatery we get ready to ascend Bainskloof pass, the signature climb of the Bolandcycletour. John Boom might have a surprise at the top, a room with a view. Keep your wits on the descend, passing the overhanging rock formations (bonus points if you remember their name) and the Tweede Tol campsite, before the road flattens out. Calabash bush pub then Bergsig wine cellar on the corner before we turn left-left-left. LEFT onto the R43. LEFT to Wolseley. LEFT onto the R46 direction Tulbagh. Finally a right turn and into Tulbagh!
