Old Mutual Double Century

Excitement looms as Old Mutual Wealth, in collaboration with the Pedal Power Association and the Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust, eagerly awaits the arrival of cyclists and support drivers for the 2023 Old Mutual Wealth Double Century. This thrilling 202km race is scheduled to take place on November 25, in Swellendam.

Our favourite award at the OMWDC goes to the most fabulous team on the day. It's not measured on time or speed, vasbyt or fashion, but on simply the amount of joy its riders get out of being on their bicycles.
