Back to mountain biking: the Cape Leopard Trust is proud and privileged to be associated with the FNB Wine2Whales mountain bike event as an official beneficiary, and as such, we have the opportunity to offer two entries into the Pinotage race to two teams who would like to ride for a worthy cause. The 2 standard tent team entries are up for grabs at the unbelievable discounted price of only R10 000 per team (normal price R15 500). These special leopard entries also include a fantastic exclusive added extra in the form of a morning mountain bike ride followed by a private wine tasting with the legendary US mountain biker turned winemaker, Trevor deRuisé.
Trevor was one of America’s top professional cross-country mountain bike racers before he made 180-degree career change and became a winemaker in the Overberg. Today he makes fantastic small-batch wines called LOST BOY Wines for the Wild. Trevor has a passion for nature and conservation and R50 of every bottle of his wines goes to one of his chosen wildlife causes (including the CLT). He still regularly rides his mountain bike on the stunning Overberg trails and hosts intimate private tastings of his wines in nature. Trevor has kindly agreed to host our two CLT W2W teams for a morning ride and tasting!
Interested?
Please contact Jeannie on [email protected] BEFORE 15 AUGUST.
We also encourage our two teams to use this as an opportunity to help us protect leopards in the Cape by fundraising for the CLT through GivenGain or any other platform.
