Day one runs down the False Bay coast and climbs to the top of Sir Lowry's Pass; day two crosses the winelands by Helshoogte and finishes above Franschhoek on the first properly engineered road in the country. Roughly 250 km in all. Both summits are exposed and often in cloud, so check the wind and the weather the night before.
