Vryguns Farm Windmeul
Paarl, 7624
South Africa
Off we go to one of our favourite venues – Perdeberg Cellars – for our next race. But don’t let the title fool you – there’s nothing LITE about this race. 5 loops of a challenging 25km circuit mean 125km in the legs and 1300m of climbing. Just what’s needed a couple of weeks before the Cape Town Cycle Tour.
Don’t forget to support Eat@Perdeberg – Rob and his team make the most amazing breakfast buns plus a pizza after the race will be great for recovery
