Riders at the Tour de Plett prepare to set off on the 55km route.

The 2015 Tour de Plett started without a hitch on Saturday morning despite a blustery start to the day with rain threatening.

The riders in the 85 km route set off at 07h30 followed closely by the 55km competitors at 07h45. Then it was the turn of the not so hard core and the families, who started the 20km route at 08h00.

The wind had dropped by the time the gun went off, and it looked like the races might be concluded in dry conditions, however a squall or two during the races put paid to that. This, however, did not dampen the spirits of the riders who enjoyed a scenic route over floating bridges to finish at the Central Beach in front of the Sasfin Plett Wine & Bubbly Festival tent.
