DONE AND DUSTED.....
Wow, what a journey! – we have to firstly thank all the riders that took part in the inaugural Cape
Pioneer Trek for their kind words and praises, our sponsors for their support, and our community
partners and our crew for their commitment and passion. All the people involved, from riders to crew,
all contributed to the enormous success this event turned out to be, none more evident in the difference
that was made in the communities we travelled through.
THE JOURNEY CONTINUES.....
With a little more than ten months to go until the start of the second edition of this truly South African race,
things are already on track to make 2010 even better. We will listen to advice and requests from you the rider,
and change things for the better. You will all agree that a standard was set with a route that cannot be topped
by many, unparalleled service from an ever helpful family of crew, and hospitality from the communities, like
only the platteland can offer. We will take this as the standard, and better where necessary.
Our route for 2010 will only be unveiled on May 17, 2010, but here is a glimpse of what to expect. Distances will
remain more or less the same, and we will visit the same towns for 2010, maybe not in the same order. It is of
paramount importance that riders experience all Africa can offer, have an exceptional riding experience, and
enjoy their visit to our community friends.
This year each day consisted of 20-40km of riding on routes never before used for mountain biking – this pioneering
spirit will continue into 2010. Katot is already busy on his exploits to find these hidden gems in the Karoo and
Garden route – so be sure 2010 will be even better.
Please enter early, the response to the race is overwhelming, and all the available 250 team slots will be filled quickly.
Be on the lookout for the first newsletter towards the middle of February, and see you in October.
