Madison Track Cycling 2009

The Wilde Cycling Team did exceptionally well in the Madison Track Cycling Race. The Madison race is a cycling relay where teams try to overlap their rivals. It was created in New York's infamous Madison Square Gardens, hence the name of the race. It is hard to keep track of the race, but it's very exciting if you can follow.

How it works is: at any one time only one member of the team is involved in the competition. The one team member rests while his team mate races. The resting member rides high on the track whilst the racing happens at the bottom. The rest period usually takes one and a half laps. The resting rider is thrown into the competition when his team mate slings him in with either a hand sling, or else by a firm push on the seat. The basic objective is to complete more laps than the rival teams. Points are scored by contesting sprints at specified marks during the race. If two or more teams finish the race on the same lap, then the team with the greater point total wins.

Team Wilde are the Champions in the WP Madison Track Cycling Race 2009 and Bronze Medalists at the SA Championships 2009.

Congratulations to the Wilde Cycling Team with their outstanding results!

Springboks on the move

Wellington eagerly welcomed the Springboks to the Boland Rugby Stadium in August, as part of a training programme for kids with a passion for rugby.

The Boks took time out of their busy schedules to show the aspiring young players the ropes, while Wilde Pure Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice was present to quench everybody's thirst.

After the demo's and training, autographs were given out by the Boks - this day, these young ones will certainly not forget. Thank you to the Springboks for an unforgettable day of rugby!

2x4x4 equals an action packed weekend

Wilde Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice, together with Citrusdal Tourism, hosted the 2009 edition of the Citrusdal 2x4x4 outdoor weekend from 3 to 4 October 2009.

Approximately 45 off-road vehicles and over 100 quad bikes attended the fun filled weekend in Citrusdal's juicy valleys. There were various routes to choose from - each with its own intensity level. The weekend catered for all outdoor lovers alike - from the extreme people who want to test themselves and their vehicles, to the more laid back "Sunday drivers" who just wanted to drive for the love of scenic landscapes and the great outdoors.

The teams headed out to the tracks early the Saturday morning and started finishing their races later that afternoon. Each entrant received a goodie bag filled with lots of surprises, even Wilde Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice.


The rest of the family that didn't participate in the races, weren't left out in the cold. There was a food and wine tasting area, as well as a kids' play area, to keep the whole family entertained.

In the spotlight: Berry!

Fruit adds an important part of a healthy diet, but a portion of fruit can be substituted by a far more convenient glass of 100% fruit juice - to be used in moderate amounts. Wilde Fruit Juice is pressed and squeezed from pure fruit, thus being your best alternative choice when actual fruit is hard to come by.

Berries taste good - wether you eat it raw, use it in recipes, spread it evenly as jam over some toast, or have a delectable berry flavoured liqueur after dinner - you will surely agree that whatever form berry products take, they taste good.

Berries offer more than just good taste, as they are known to be full of vitamins, nutrients and powerful antioxidants. Wilde Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice realised the great benefits of berries and decided to put it to good use. Wilde used a combination of grape juice, youngberry juice and black current juice in their convenient 'Wild Berry' 100% fruit juice blend, with no artificial additives or treatments that'll make the berries lose their power-packing punch! Wilde's Wild Berry is a naturally good-for-you type of fruit juice.

September Monday Mom's Workshop

Wilde Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice made yet another appearance at the Monday Mom's Workshop, on the 7th of September 2009. Wilde educated young and expecting moms about the pure pressed goodness that Wilde's fruit juices have to offer.

A whole different kind of ball game

Wilde Pure Pressed and Squeezed Fruit Juice put on their bowling shoes and joined Club Newlands at the smooth surfaced lanes of Let's Go Bowling on the 26th of August 2009. This was an opportunity for Club Newlands Members to meet their Vodacom WP Rugby heroes in an informal environment. The players (always competing!) soon strutted their ten pin bowling knack among one another, which soon rubbed off on the kids. This yielded a fun filled competitive atmosphere, enjoyed by all the bowlers (big and small) present.
