Months of preparation almost at end

The best of South African cyclists are fired up to get going in this month’s The Herald Continental Cycle Tour. The two weekends of racing are nearly upon us and the many months of preparation for the professional riders are almost over.

The event stood out across social media platforms, and the organisation and willingness to accommodate elite riders was unparallelled by other events, Sullivan said.

“The post-race atmosphere is fantastic, great things to eat and drink, with a more than comfortable area to sit back and relax.

“So all in all, we’re looking forward to being there on the startline and hanging around afterwards.” The Stellenbosch cyclist said that they had done plenty of racing as a team this year, so their preparation for [The Herald Continental] Cycle Tour had been going well.
