The Cape Argus Pick ‘n Pay Cycle Tour held in Cape Town. Each year is the biggest timed cycling event in the world and attracts more than 30 000 cyclists from around the world every year. The Argus Cycle Tour is scheduled for Sunday 11 March 2012
The Argus route is one of the most scenic in the world. The race starts in Cape Town CBD, heads towards Simonstown, then turning at Smitswinkel and heading back along the coastline before the steady climb up the world famous Chapmans Peak and finally the short, steep hill of Suikerbossie. The downhill to the finish in Green Point is a welcome respite.
A team of at least 2500 volunteers ensures that all operations run smoothly and efficiently on the day. A carnival incorporating hospitality tents, entertainment and guaranteed fun awaits the cyclists, their families and friends at Cape Town Stadium.
The Cape Argus Pick ‘n Pay Cycle Tour is a non-profit event; all proceeds go to two charities. Pedal Power Association uses their share to develop cycling in the community by sponsoring development cyclists and hosting fun rides in the Western Cape area. The second charity, the Rotary Club of Claremont invests their share into a variety of fundraising projects.
