2024 Western Cape XCM Championship

As we start the countdown towards a championship like no other, let's have a look at some key points of this year's event.

Firstly, a reminder that members of the Tygerberg MTB club ride for FREE.  Send us a mail to collect your free entry.

We are mindful of the rising costs of participating in cycling events, especially those that require substantial travelling and accommodation. We have expanded our accommodation options significantly to suit every budget – ranging from camping, mid-tier accommodation to elegant B&B’s.  There’s something for everyone. Some outlets are also offering substantial discount to participants in Vines & Views. Please contact us:  info@vinesandviews.co.za or WhatsApp 0833059105 for more information on accommodation options.

This is so much more than a championship race.  It's a festival!

Brief overview of the Vines and Views cycling festival:

Friday – very casual registration, race briefing, optional dining at race venue, free wine tasting

Saturday – race, fun run, prizegiving, social, live music with Gian Groen, Springbok/All Black game at 17:00.  We’ve got more GREAT NEWS!  We've arranged a free shuttle service for Saturday afternoon.  There will be 2 shuttles running from Vredendal town to Teubes Wines from 15:30 and return at 20:00.  This service is FREE to cyclists and their families.  This means after prizegiving you can freshen up and return to festivities and not worry about driving back home.  (Please note:  Fun Run details to follow)

Some FAQs

   We made major improvements to the 2024 routes (particularly 55km and 80km). Please make sure you enter the route option that suits your skill level and fitness. When looking at the route profiles, check the distance intervals at the bottom (it may be slightly less intimidating).  More info at www.vinesandviews.co.za ; please contact us should you have any questions. We’ll do a route overview at race briefing.
