About this route
Andrew Geddes Bain's 1854 national-monument pass climbs the R301 out of Wellington at a forgiving 3.4 percent, hugging sheer rock walls above the Witte River gorge. The Wellington-side Strava segment alone draws over 13,000 attempts, making it a Boland road-cycling rite of passage.
