Cycle along Chapmans Peak
Camps Bay to Chapmans Peak
Description
You will cycle along Victoria Road from Camps Bay past the 12 Apostles Hotel which is a great warm up before you hit your first hill. Ride up Suikerbossie and down into Hout Bay and then along the beach front and up Chappies to the top of Chapmans peak. There take a deep breath where you deserve a well earned rest and marvel at the spectacular view. Do keep a look out for whales sometimes seen in the bay.
Once recovered, turn your bike round and enjoy the hill back down in the knowledge that soon, on entering Hout Bay, you can stop off at the first coffee shop on the left hand-side past the carpark to give your much needed caffeine top-up before hitting Suikerbossie again.
On returning to Camps Bay, its time for a sumptuous brunch at one of the many trendy Camps Bay restaurants.
