The Route 62 Rally is the longest consecutive running Harley Davidson rally in South Africa. We have raised the bar considerably higher from previous years, so you need to join us and be part of this 2024 celebration. There will be music, stalls, tattoo artists, food stalls, Harley games, famous out rides, party and fun.

Each February since 2007 has seen the staging in Montagu of the Route 62 Harley Rally. It is currently staged at the host site of Avalon Springs in Montagu. With over 500 plus bikers attending, it is one of the biggest and best Harley rallies in Africa hosted by a single club, 1st Free Chapter of Cape Town.

Harley Bikers from all over South Africa and even from other countries make their way to Montagu on a wide range of bikes, dressed in denim and leather and bedecked with patches and badges. They are warmly welcomed by the friendly reception crew and each receives a well-stocked goody-bag. The program includes interesting outrides, great food, cold frosties and rock bands to party the nights away.

On Saturday morning the traditional mass ride takes the posse of gleaming chrome in a rolling thunder of V-Twin engines through the local streets. This is followed by a variety of challenging Harley Games back at the rally site, designed to test skills to the limit.

The rally site is well served by local wine estates, a tattoo artist, a Harley dealer & workshop, bike wash, food stalls and more. Each evening the roar of Harleys is replaced by the rock bands that ensure a pulsating rhythm continues long into the night. For those wanting a more leisurely pace, there are the soothing waters of the hot springs and plunge pools.

It is more blessed to give than to receive and funds are raised for charities serving the local communities. It is always a happy weekend followed by sad farewells to new friends and old with the hope of meeting again next year at the Route 62 Rally.
