The areas of South Africa that the Rhino Run passes through receive mainly winter rains, so the chances are pretty good it will be a hot and dry race, but that is never certain.Īrriving in Stellenbosch, you will have completed 11,000 meters of climbing over 750 kilometers. Montagu Pass could be under thick rain clouds while the Karoo, on the other side of the mountain, can be bathing in sunshine. Once you pass through Knysna, and leave the ocean behind, you head inland where the weather can be very unpredictable. These roughest sections are typically on or near the mountain passes, especially Montagu Pass and Rooiberg Pass.

The road conditions here are a mix of tar, smooth gravel, and then very rough and rocky gravel sections with erosion ruts and uneven terrain. It is the greenest part of the route, very different from the barren sectors further north.

Before climbing Montagu Pass, near George, you are on the Garden Route, so named because of the lush green indigenous forests hugging the coastline. This is a spectacular sector on a famous cycle touring route through the western cape region of South Africa, with cool ocean breezes, lush forests, tough passes, and stunning wine farms towards the end. The route between Plettenberg Bay and Stellenbosch has some of the most beautiful vistas of the course.
