35,000 riders around the Cape Peninsula, timed.
Cape Town Cycle Tour loops 109 km around the Cape Peninsula on fully closed roads, past Chapman's Peak Drive carved into the cliff 600 m above the Atlantic, with Suikerbossie's 6.7% average as the final test at km 81. The real variable is the Cape Doctor wind.
For the rider with eight focused weeks and seven to eleven hours a week, this plan concentrates on the pace and crosswind management the coastal loop demands.
INSIDE THE FINISHER PLAN — 7–11 HR/WK
Includes zone-tailored structured rides for your devices, built-in strength with video walkthroughs, heat-training protocols for racing in the hot stuff, peloton skills workouts, and nutrition and hydration guidance.

Hey, I'm Matti. I spent 11 years at TrainingPeaks, where they trusted me to teach coaches how to coach at TrainingPeaks University. I raced Amateur Elite with Rio Grande Cycling Team and podiumed my age group at Unbound 200 in 2026. I have a degree in biology and exercise physiology from St. Olaf. I'm also a middle-aged dad of three, so I know training doesn't happen in a vacuum. I help gravel riders get stupidly fast without becoming the person who brings a food scale to a party
