About the event
Drake Events presents the Tour de la Col, an all-inclusive 5 day, 4 night, 4 stage tour from Pretoria to Badplaas.
The route from Pretoria to Badplaas is anything but flat, but truly spectacular! It's not about the pace, but rather the experience. Mpumalanga has so much beauty, which we will explore on this tour.
The 603km will bring on 9385m of vertical ascent. Although it may be a challenge, the group will ride at a respectable, endurance pace daily.
Day 1 will be a long day out with the double century ticking over, but will be the "flattest" day of the tour. Ease into the week and get the legs rolling over. From Stage 2 onwards, the climbing legs will engage - with slow, steady climbs you'll have plenty opportunity to enjoy the scenery and make memories with new friends.
This tour is all about you and enjoying every minute spent in the saddle. The all-inclusive package is a "no-wallet" tour, as we provide everything you will need for a memorable weekend away.
