Notes:

• Grade: Easy. Slight incline on the ride into Franschhoek and a short hill in the village. Note that sections of this ride are on the busy R45, but there is a good hard shoulder to ride in.
• Alternative Routes: alternatives exist for more serious riders to include the Robertsvlei Valley route (an extra 10km), or to push the ride out along the R45 to include the wine farms of Graham Beck or L’Ormarins / Sohlm Delta.
