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.

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!

Team Wilde on the right track

As always, Team Wilde is making the spokes turn as hard as fruit presses. On Saturday 23 June 2011, Timo Cooper, Reniell Matthysen, Kabous Marra and Robert King participated in this year's Wolseley Mountain Bike Race. Sporting a Wilde cycling shirt (Reniell) and unyielding game faces, the team made the muscle mutilating track look like child's play. Timo kicked dust in the eyes of other cyclists, finishing in first place! Reniell ended in an impressive third place, while Kabous and Robert made us proud, completing the race in good time together as a team. The four cyclists are now hard at work, preparing for the upcoming Cape Pioneer trek, which takes place in October. If
the Wolseley race is anything to go by, the Trek is sure to be a pushover. Well done, Team!
