Sharing the goodness at Hope Preparatory

Wilde was proud to donate Wilde 100% Fruit Juice to the amazing children in grade R at Hope Preparatory, East London.  It's great to see the smiles on their faces and see what a little sharing can achieve.  

The children sent us this in return:

"Thank you so much for the juice you blessed us with. Our teachers told us that it has lots of vitamins in - that will help us fight the winter germs. It tastes yummy too !!!

We always feel special when people bless us because it reminds us that Jesus loves us and watches over us and sends people like you to be “His hands” in giving to us.

If you ever want to come and visit us we would love to sing for you and give you lots of hugs.

We pray that God will bless you for blessing us.

Lots of warm hugs and smiles." 

There is a lot of need out there and together we can all make a significant difference in the lives of countless others.

bridge Cape Pioneer Trek Launch 2012

Dryland Event Management, the organisers of the bridge Cape Pioneer Trek, revealed the route for this year’s race in a lavish affair in Green Point, Cape Town. Riders, corporates, celebrities and media attended the launch where they enjoyed wine and beer courtesy of Fairview and SAB as well as delicious canapés. Paul Valstar, MC for the night, welcomed everyone before introducing the new route, which was followed by a comprehensive video of what riders can expect. The highlight of the evening was the announcement of the R100 000 prize money for the winners of Stage 2 which is a first in South African cycling history! The end of Stage 2 will finish off with a monster 1100m vertical ascent over roughly 12 km which is another first in SA cycling!

There were changes made to the route this year with a lot of emphasis on riding quality, shorter stages and less ascent but with that great pioneering spirit still firmly intact.  Smooth single tracks, undulating scenic jeep track and visits to the iconic mountains and valleys that only the Klein Karoo can offer are just some of the things that lie ahead for riders.

After four years of scouting and exploring, the Dryland team will continue to bring riders the best mountain biking route. The 2012 bridge Cape Pioneer Trek will take riders through icons like the World Heritage site of the mighty Swartberg Mountain, the challenging sheer drop down cliff faces of the Meiringspoort, the arid semi desert region to the north of Prince Albert, and through the undulating mountainous Klein Karoo and the lush forests of the Garden Route. The race will start and finish at the Buffelsdrift Game Lodge in Oudtshoorn with the prologue including the pristine single track of MTB Destinations.com, which is some of the best single-track around.

Details of each stage for the 2012 route

Cyclists will be ensured they get plenty of replenishing with Wilde Fruit Juice who has been involved in the Cape Pioneer Trek for 3 years now. “We believe strongly in the Pioneer Trek’s vision of giving back to the community and schools in the surrounding area,” says Melissa Boshoff from Wilde. “With our involvement we can not only ensure that some of the nutritional needs of the cyclists are met during the race but we can be assured that our contribution is having a greater community impact which is what the great Pioneer spirit is all about!”
