Old Mutual Wealth Double Century

The Old Mutual Wealth Double Century is a 202km team time trial, starting and finishing in historic Swellendam in the Western Cape, each November. It attracts nearly 3 000 riders from around South Africa, and beyond, for a long weekend of riding, and maybe a little kuiering.

Teams can be a minimum of six to a maximum of 12 riders; male, female or mixed. A full 12-rider finish qualifies for the Charles Milner Medal, which honours one of the event’s founders and the encouragement he always brought to his teams to finish as a group, no matter the obstacles thrown up on the day; 202km of riding, ‘differences of opinion’, major mountain passes, varying fitness and ability levels and four seasons in one day make the Old Mutual Wealth Double Century a true test of endurance, cementing its place on every cyclist’s bucket list.
