Eroica Festival This celebration of vintage cycling culture has become a March staple in Montagu, where there’s a festival atmosphere at the old KWV distillery, which hosts the race village. Three beautiful gravel routes of 135km, 90km and 45km are named for the Keisie, Kogman and Kingna rivers that meet in the Montagu valley. There is also the 155km Nova which follows an Enduro-style format and is open to modern gravel bikes. www.eroicasouthafrica.com 40 | TO U R D E F R A NC E 2019
