If you go out for a ride in Cape Town at the wrong time, you could find yourself in the middle of a cycling gang war – where the weapons of choice are the dismantling of Strava records, and salty comments on Instagram. It’s all a bit silly, a lot of fun, and a reminder that cycling is a sport best taken with a sense of humour.

For those not familiar with Cape Town, or Cape Town’s cycling scene, one of the most popular cycling routes in the city is the Green Point to Chapman’s Peak (or Noordhoek) out-and-back, roughly speaking, along the Atlantic Seaboard. If you’ve ridden the Cape Town Cycle Tour, it’s essentially the final 25km section of that event.

While many Cape Town-based cyclists would consider this their ‘local’, three groups have come to dominate the area. Like rival flocks of seagulls battling over the same discarded packet of slap chips, these three ‘gangs’ race and ride the same road, over and over again, Sisyphean cyclists locked in an eternal duel for Strava segments. Their barbs are delivered in the comments on Instagram and Strava, and their rivalry culminates every November in Swellendam, at the Old Mutual Wealth Double Century.

Our friends at @bicycling_sa caught up with @teampuresavage, @laperlaclassic and @mother_amateur_bicycling_club to get to the bottom of the battle for the Atlantic Seaboard.

Entries are now open! While the minimum team size is six riders, why not gather 11 of your best mates for the full experience? Plus, you’ll have a shot at the Charles Milner Medal, awarded to teams that finish with all 12 riders together.
