Four Cape Town Cyclists Take On The Cape Epic for Charity

Four Capetonians will be braving what has become one of the biggest cycling events in South Africa. The Cape Epic, the Magical and Untamed African mountain bike race, has put the country on the international cycling map with a bang and is, in fact, one of the biggest mountain bike races in the World. The cyclists are hoping to raise the public's awareness about, and funds for, the work being done by the Amy Biehl Foundation Trust with township children.

Mike Powell(General Manager of Reeds Tygervalley) and Donald Christy(Operations Director Of Reeds Motor Group) are riding the Cape Epic Mountain Bike Race from 21 to 28 March together with partners, Alex Kruger(well know IT Specialist) and anaesthetist, Ian Seggie, respectively. For any cyclist, the Epic is a serious adventure and challenge. For the average cyclist it is an almost insurmountable challenge. It includes 16000m of climbing and traversing 900-kilometers of dirt roads and other difficult terrain.

For the men, going into the race for the first time will be an experience in itself and will truly be a voyage into the unknown. All monies raised will go directly to the Amy Biehl Foundation Trust as the riders are paying their own costs – between R30 000 and R50 000 per rider. They hope to raise R100 000 towards this very worthy cause.

Donations can be deposited into the Amy Biehl Foundation Trust account at First National Bank , Adderley Street branch. Account Number : 6208 5677 890.

The Foundation is named after Amy Biehl, an American Fullbright Scholar who was the victim of political mob violence in Gugulethu outside of Cape Town in 1993. More than 1 000 children benefit from its development programmes.
