At the heart of every ride is the dynamic cycling duo, husband-and-wife, Wesley and Xanné Drake. 

Together, they’ve built more than a cycling tour, they’ve forged a lifestyle rooted in adventure, excellence, and exceptional hospitality.

Wesley is the visionary—a keen cyclist with a deep love for the road less travelled. He holds extensive knowledge of South Africa’s routes and designs every tour with precision and purpose. Xanné is the organiser and heartbeat of the operation—her eye for detail, warm nature, and nurturing spirit ensure that every cyclist feels welcomed and well looked after.

Together, they run Drake Cycle Tours with beliefs deeply rooted in family values—creating events that focus on community and connection, bringing people together through the ride, not just the finish line. The Drake family believes that sharing the ride, the meal, and the moment is what forges real connection and lasting memories.
