Réniell is at it again...

Wilde Pure Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice sponsors Réniell Matthysen - a superb track cyclist who is making a great comeback after a quiet cycling year in 2007.

The Neotel Yorkshire Cycling Club hosted its first local Summer Track League (STL) at the Faure Street Stadium in Paarl on Friday 10 October 2008.

Réniell Matthysen was dominating the night's open category race. Then he went on to take victories in the 15 lap point race, elimination race as well as the Elite 3 lap scratch race. He did well, although receiving some stiff competition from Brandon Christians - the up-and-coming junior rider from Neotel Rhadsport.

The second leg of the STL was held on Friday 17 October 2008, where, Réniell faced some opposition from Garth Thomas (Tygerberg), Wesley Bradshaw (Bellville CC) and Brandon Christians.

Réniell opened the evening with a convincing win in the 15 lap scratch race. Then he also thrived by taking first place in the 3, 6 and 30 lap races. The elimination race saw Réniell Matthysen take second place after a good, but challenging run.

Keep it up, Réniell!

We are going to the mountain

Wilde Pure Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice refreshed the contender goodie bags, by sponsoring 200 ml Wilde juices for the riders who took part in the Oudtshoorn Mountain Bike Marathon over the weekend of 26 to 27 September 2008. The race covered a good 300 km of non-technical off-road riding over three days in the scenic countryside of the Karoo. Although scenic, the race was still tough - testing physical endurance with a lot of uphill climbing. So the riders certainly needed a Wilde boost of pure pressed goodness after the enduring races that took them past tobacco, ostrich and beetroot farms. Our Wilde distribution manager, Hannes Cooper, attended this event in support of his son, Timo, who also took part in the race.

Going natural, organically

On the weekend of 17 to 19 October 2008, the CTICC hosted the fifth Natural and Organic Exhibition - an event dedicated to inspire South Africans to view their lifestyle and think about the health choices they make as individuals. The best range of local organic, natural, eco-friendly and socially aware products are exhibited. Among the many "green" exhibitors, Wilde Pure Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice displayed the pure pressed goodness of their range of 100% natural fruit juices - the new packaging and display complemented each other very well. The Wilde stand experienced a constant buzz, as people couldn't seem to get enough of the next best thing to eating fresh fruit.

Réniell - a force to be reckoned with

Track cyclist extraordinaire, Réniell Matthysen, is sponsored by Wilde Pure Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice.
