Self-Catering apartments in Cape Town provide convenience for the Cape Argus Cycle Tour

It seems like an insignificant thing but choosing the right Cape Town bed and breakfast can make all the difference to the enjoyment of your ride. The Cape Argus cycle tour can be a fun day that shows off the beauty of the Cape to the thousands of out of town visitors that the race attracts. Even if one has trained properly there are still several factors that turn a potentially great day into a nightmare. Check for road closure information, there can be nothing worse than having months of training going down the drain because you missed your start and have to start at the back of a slow pack.

Check on a map for where your Cape Town guest house is located if necessary ask your Cape Town B&B which is the best way to get to the start line. If they are locals they will be able to tell you from experience what the best route will be for getting to the start. Eating right is obviously an essential part of maximising your training and getting the time you want. There is a great vibe in Cape Town on the weekend of the cycle tour and many restaurants have specials on carbo loading foods. However if you have an early start you may not wish to be waiting ages for a table at one of the busier restaurants. A good option for you then would be a self-catering apartment in Cape Town. This way you can ensure that not only do you get the food you need the night before but also that you get the food you need on the morning of the race.

If you're staying with a particularly helpful Cape Town bed and breakfast they may well be willing to give you a lift to the start of the race. This might require some sweet talking and an offer of petrol money but it could make all the difference to removing stress on the morning of the race. In the same token they may be willing to pick you up after the race, which is when you will really appreciate a lift. Many Cape Town guest house owners, especially if running a smaller or new upstart operation, will go out of their way to help their guests.

If you're arriving in the city a few days ahead of the big race there are two things you will need to look out for when choosing a guest house in Cape Town, a place that is peaceful so that you can rest when necessary and a place that has access to some good training routes, better still if some of the bigger climbs in the race are accessible. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the route, these two things do not go hand in hand with convenience when choosing a Cape Town bed and breakfast. Ideally you should choose a self-catering apartment in Cape Town city centre or in Green Point or Sea Point. This will put you within cycling distance of the start and the finish, also if it is your first visit to Cape Town you will be close to all the the major tourist attractions, these areas, however, can get noisy on the weekends and a peaceful nights rest before the race can't be guaranteed.

You should, as always, check the exact location of the Cape Town guest house on a map and ensure that it is not close to any central hubs of night activity such as Long Str. or Somerset Rd in Green Point. The residential areas close by here will probably provide maximum convenience for race day.
