Kick into high gear for Tour Durban

The event once again consists of a 105km classic road race, a 45km fun ride and the popular 55km cyclo-cross that blends road racing with mountain biking.

AFTER the cancellation of the 40th Cape Town Cycle Tour on Sunday, cycling enthusiasts will now set their sights on the aQuellé Tour Durban, which takes place on Sunday, 30 April.

The event once again consists of a 105km classic road race, a 45km fun ride and the popular 55km cyclo-cross that blends road racing with mountain biking.

Crucially, the 105km race will serve as an early qualifier for the 2018 Cape Town Cycle Tour, offering an early chance for riders to secure their qualification for next year’s Western Cape event.

The loyal following for the KZN Classic is built on the reliable autumn weather and the landmark views on offer on the 105km route that skirts south, west and north of the city, and the breath-taking sea views on the out-and-back route up the North Coast used for the 45km and 55km races.

The event has been boosted by the news that Bridge Fund Managers has signed a three year deal as the new presenting sponsor of the aQuellé Tour Durban. Go to www.tourdurban.co.za
