ROUTE INFORMATION
The Houw Houk Tour gives you the opportunity to cycle some of the W2W routes and trails. The Tour aims to let you explore and experience what a multi-stage event is all about and offers a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. This is not a timed event, but a STRAVA segment will be created for each stage against which everyone can track their own timing and records.
The start and finish of both stages will be at the Houwhoek Hotel.
