The cyclists met on the Grand Parade and rode down Adderley Street to the Foreshore. Stemming out of this the idea of holding a long-distance ride, to be known as the Peninsula Marathon, was born. WPPPA warned would-be riders that it would not be easy - ' a good two months preparation is recommended!'

 

In March of 2010 it was held for the 33rd time!  In 2009 Matt Damon participated in this 110 km bicycle race and this year the 7-times Tour de France winner, Lance Armstrong, gave it a go.

 

The route starts in the city centre, then over Boyes drive, through Simonstown and Scarborough, past Oceanview, up Chapman's Peak and Suikerbossie, then down the coast to Greenpoint.
