Winelands Cycle Race 2027

The wind and weather on Winelands Cycle Race

The Winelands Cycle Race is one of the Western Cape’s favourite summer road races: 102 km from Wellington through Hermon, Riebeek Kasteel and the Voor-Paardeberg, with a 52 km option and a seeding for the Cape Town Cycle Tour.

Late January in the Boland is hot and dry. Mornings are warm, the afternoon can pass 35°C, and the south-easter usually builds through the morning, so the open roads towards Riebeek Kasteel and the run home past Windmeul can be windy by the time slower riders get there. That’s why the 102 km starts at 06:00. Set your start and pace above: the forecast follows the hours you’ll actually be riding. The wind on every stretch of the course appears once the route is added to this page.
