🚴 Herald Cycle Tour – Road Closures in Our Area🚴

The Herald Cycle Tour is celebrating its big 40th birthday on 14 and 15 February with their annual cycling tour, and several roads will be closed — including some within our area. They will be passing by us on Sunday, 15 February.

Get ready — the cyclists will be taking on one of the most scenic and action‑packed stretches of the tour right here in our neighbourhood!
From Old Seaview Road, riders will power their way up the climb on Lakeside Road, before sweeping onto the beautiful stretch of Kragga Kamma Road. They’ll enjoy a fast descent before pushing up Butterfield Road, then looping back onto Lakeside for another energetic run.

From there, they’ll glide onto Seaview Road and make a quick turn into charming Altona Road, before joining the open flow of Draaifontein Road. The route then leads onto Old Cape Road, all the way to the St Albans turn‑off, where riders take on another exciting section before looping back onto Draaifontein.

With momentum building, the cyclists will push toward De Stades Road, before sweeping onto Maitlands Road, taking in the last of our area’s stunning views as they ride out toward the next leg of their adventure.

It’s a beautiful, challenging, and high‑energy section — and we are right in the heart of the action!

🌟 Thank You & A New Year’s Reminder 🌟

As we step into 2026, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our Farm Comm members and every supporter who stood by us this year. Your dedication, kindness, and unity have made an incredible difference — even in the toughest moments. We truly appreciate you!

As we celebrate, let’s also keep our community safe:

✅ Fireworks – Please avoid using fireworks. With the current drought, the risk of fires is extremely high. Fireworks can harm not only property but also pets, wildlife, and even people.
✅ Drinking & Driving – Never drink and drive. Let’s make sure everyone gets home safely.
✅ Look out for one another – Safety first, always.

Together, we can welcome the new year responsibly and protect the community we love.

Thank you for being part of Farm Comm — here’s to a safe, joyful, and united 2026!
