Vigne-à-Vigne is a good friend of mine

As you might have read in an earlier post, Wilde Pure Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice will be providing their 100% natural fruit juice to the ABSA Cape Epic 2009. This brings us to the Vigne-à-Vigne, a "good friend event" of the Cape Epic, which is a one day race that coincides with the final leg of the grueling Cape Epic mountain bike challenge.

The closing of an exciting race needs an exciting finish location. That's why Lourensford is tops. It's an ideal venue for mountain bikers of all levels to join in the excitement of the day.


The races of the day are as follows:
The 55 km route is a challenging course that will take riders through the Lourensfield Wine Estate. Although the route goes through beautiful vineyards and plantations, it's tough and there'll be no time for sightseeing.

The 22 km route is a bit shorter and is ideal for the entry-level mountain biker. The scenic course will give riders a run for their money in the lower levels of the Lourensfield Vineyards.

The two MTN Vigne-à-Vigne routes, presented by the Cape Times, are separate from the ABSA Cape Epic Routes, and have been designed to allow approximately 60% of the field to finish before the winners of the Cape Epic are expected to arrive.

The curious attendants at Vigne-à-Vigne will get to see the cyclists cross the finish line - but while they wait, they'll definitely benefit from the Wilde Pure Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice... the finishers will receive Wilde Fruit Juice at the end of the race. A fruitful award, indeed.
