Wilde Hydrates at Epic Bootcamp


Over the weekend, riders preparing for this year's Cape Epic, took part in a bootcamp which lasted 3 days, that's an incredible 180km's and almost 14 hours in the saddle. The bootcamp took place in three locations, Durbanville, Robertson and Caledon. The trails were picturesque, yet rigorous and the searing heat of the day demanded constant rehydration. Luckily, Wilde Fruit Juice was there to quench the riders thirst and boost energy levels.
The bootcamp was organised by DaisyWay, which is a coaching company that specialises in coaching riders to improve pedaling techniques. The founders of this great company, Erica and Louise, bring both competitive cycling knowledge and Sport Physiology together to offer a coaching system which yields great results. They monitor all riders progress on a monthly basis, tweaking their training schedules to gain maximum proficiency in their cycling.

Wilde gets muddy at Dirtopia


This past Saturday, mountain bikers of all ages gathered for Dirtopia's 10th annual 24 hour team relay mountain bike event at Oak Valley Estate in Grabouw.

Dirtopia is highly social, which helps build camaraderie between riders and teammates.

Dirtopia is a mountain bike and trail construction company which started out as a mountain bike festival in 2000.
