the South African market, and as newly appointed official supplement
supplier to The Cape Pioneer Trek, they will supply riders with GU and Roctane gels, GU energy drink and their
latest product, GU chomps, at all the daily water stations.
SLUDGE Products
An international brand with local roots, and a cycling necessity just as important as having a saddle on your
bike, is SLUDGE tyre sealant.
The Karoo is a nasty and unforgiving place, especially hard on tyres and tubes,
therefore SLUDGE had to be on board. As official tyre sealant to The Cape Pioneer Trek, they will ensure you
reach the finish, with wheels intact.
Continental
We are very proud to announce
Continental as the official tyre supplier to the Cape Pioneer Trek. This German based
company, and undoubtedly the worldwide leader in tyre technology, saw the opportunity that lies in their association
with this event. All riders will receive some welcome gifts and accessories as part of their entry pack.
Squirt
Proudly South African, applies to both the Pioneer Trek and Squirt, and therefore this relationship to
add even more value to the riders. Squirt wax lubricant loves the Karoo, the drier and dustier it is,
the better it works. Locally researched and developed, with sales worldwide, makes Squirt the ideal
lubrication for the Cape Pioneer Trek.
Squirt will supply some nice additions to the riders' already
bulging race packs. It will be available at the waterpoints and the workshops as well as at the finish

Scooters Pizza - Hot. Tasty. Fast.
There are many foods that cyclists can eat to carbo-load prior to a race, but who wants to eat potatoes or
rice when they could eat hot, tasty pizza and pasta?
Scooters Pizza began as a single store in Westville, Durban, operated by three cheese-slinging pizza devotees,
and has since grown even faster than a Cape Pioneer cyclist to become South Africa’s leader in fast pizza
delivery. Scooters Pizza now has stores all over the country, even in the Western Cape. Their menu has
expanded to include delicious hot pastas and tasty pasta salads, as well as the pizzas they are famous for.
Scooters Pizza is proud to sponsor the most delicious carbo-loading treats ever seen at the Cape Pioneer Trek,
offered to riders and crew at Stage Five of the race.
