Wilde backs a winning team

A few weekends back, Wilde stood on the sidelines of the rugby field along with parents and high schoolers, cheering and biting nails as the Hugenote High first team did their thing on the field. Sponsored by Wilde, the team definitely did not disappoint, kicking grass in the eyes of Swartland high school to claim a spectacular victory with 32-10! Congratulations team, you've made us proud!

Gravel Travel through the vineyards

This coming Saturday Kabous, Robert and Timo of Team Wilde will be cycling the Gravel Travel MTN National MTB Series at Diemersfontein. The team is one man down, with Reniell currently partaking in a Bloemfontein tour. Nevertheless, they're in high spirits and born ready to take on the 105km and 75km tracks through the vineyards of Wellington and Groenberg. This mountainous route boasts spectacular views and fynbos stretches, and winds past many historic farmsteads and local award-winning cellars. If you'd like to join in an get high on spirit and adrenaline, simply click here to enter. Best of luck to our three Team Wilde muskateers! We know you'll make us proud like you always do!

Timo the Baviaan conquerer

A few weeks back, Team Wilde's Timo Cooper and trainer Gedden Ruddock kicked dust in the eyes of fellow cyclists to claim the number one spot in the Trans Baviaans one day race! Not only is this 235km challenge one of South Africa's premier mountain biking events, it's the longest single day MTB team challenge in the world. Starting at Willowmore, the route winds over and around spectacular mountain ranges before dipping through the breathtaking Baviaanskloof. Most cyclists only dream of competing and finishing the Trans Baviaans race, which makes Timo and Gedden's feat all the more noteworthy. Congratulations guys!

'Ride the Rhino' MTB Challenge

Our star pedaling performers - Kabous, Robert, Timo and Reniell of Team Wilde - will be showing their support for environmentalism this September, by competing in the Ride the Rhino cycling race. Instead of cycling for the sake of pure adrenaline, the Ride the Rhino is in support of rhino conservation.

Where at one stage the Renosterveld stretched from Vanrhynsdorp to Mossel Bay, this unique habitat now comprises only 4% of its original size. Through this mountain bike race, Renosterveld Events strive to create awareness of this environmental tragedy, and raise funds for the Renosterveld Trust, as well as towards improving communities along the route.

This grueling 3-day mountain bike challenge stretches from Langebaan to Durbanville and seperates the cycling world's Black Rhinos (300km race) from the White Rhinos (180km race). If you're interested in taking part in this muscle cruncher of an event and doing your bit towards preserving the environment and its treasures, Ride the Rhino takes place from 30 September to 2 October 2011 - enter online at www.renosterveldmtb.co.za. We wish you and our four Wilde representatives the best of luck!
