The cut-off times below were implemented in 2012. Updated cut-off times for the 2013 Cycle Tour will be posted as soon as any changes have been confirmed (start of 2013).

All cyclists must cross the finish line by 17h08 after which time, all support services will be withdrawn. However, to receive an official result and race certificate, you must complete the Cycle Tour within 7 hours, calculated from the time that the group you are in crosses the start line.
For your safety and in line with the requirements of the City of Cape Town, we have calculated (based on the time limit, combined with rider statistics over the past couple of years) a number of cut-off points along the route.
If you don’t make it to a cut-off point at the specified time, you will not be permitted to continue on the route and you and your bicycle will be removed from the course and transported back to the finish line.
Please note, that the Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust have been granted exclusive rights to utilize the course road space for the duration of the event by the City of Cape Town and until such time that the roads have been reopened by the City of Cape Town’s Traffic department, the Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust will have full control of the Cycle Tour route.
Any cyclist found on the route after the cut off time, will face disqualification.
Lastly… please be friendly to the marshals at the cut off points, they are only doing their jobs!
