The setting · Why George

A flower farm beneath the mountains

OutRide is hosted at VanderFax — a regenerative cut-flower farm framed by the folded green Outeniqua Mountains, on the edge of George. A venue with a built-in story, in the Garden Route's richest riding country.

Travelling in? George, Wilderness & Mossel Bay have stacks of stay options — we'll drop a "stay & ride" guide closer to the weekend.

Cycling with a cause

Every ride gives a ride

Ride, watch or shop and you help put bikes under Garden Route kids. We partner Qhubeka, Pedal Power and local George squads — and count every bike given.
