Cycling Suikerbossie Pass

Suikerbossie is a pass connecting Cape Town and Llandudno with Hout Bay. It's the infamous final climb of the Cape Town Cycling Tour. But every day many cyclists pass here, since it's on the way to Chapman's Peak.

Suikerbossie is on Victoria Road (M6) along the Atlantic Coast. Coming from Cape Town the climb starts near 12 Apostles Hotel. Just follow the road with its frequently changing slope to the top and enjoy the straight descent to Houtbaai! From the steeper Houtbaai side, the slope is more constant, around 6-7%. Both sides have a shoulder, so cyclists don't have to share their lane with the other traffic.
