THE ADVENTURE

“I’ve spent a significant amount of hours training and playing on the Table Mountain trails and they hold many great memories and experiences and I wanted to do my part in ensuring that they are safe and well maintained for many generations of mountain lovers to come.” said Iain.

Their fundraising goals?

“Our aim was to raise R28,470, a mere R20 per km cycled, to support Friends of Table Mountain in their crucial work. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, made a significant difference.”

“Lastly, we wanted to give a massive shoutout to our partners: Gone. Outdoor, Sling Cycles and Stance Socks. We are incredibly grateful for your support in making this journey possible and contributing to the preservation of these beloved trails.”
