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!
