  • Update: New women's-only funride
  • MTB Workshops this weekend
  • Forthcoming Events
  • This weekend on the funride calendar
KILLARNEY TRAINING WILL RESUME IN 2012 Due to the Killarney Motor racing track being booked for other activities, no further Tuesday training sessions will take place this year. Training will resume in January 2012 - watch the PPA website for more information. ENTRIES STREAMING IN FOR NEW WOMEN'S FUNRIDE Entries are streaming in for the new "PPA Heels on Wheels, presented by Shape", with more than 300 women having already entered. This new, fun event on 11 December is specially designed to cater for newcomers, and female cyclists who perhaps don’t participate in funrides as often as they'd like, with fairly flat, doable routes over 47 km and 13 km.

With some 300 female cyclists who have already entered the brand-new women’s-only PPA "Heels on Wheels", presented by SHAPE magazine on Sunday 11 December 2011, there are only 50 goody bags still up for grabs. The first 350 entrants receive a goody bag. This event is specially designed to cater for female cyclists who perhaps don’t participate in events as often as they’d like, or newcomers to the cycling scene. As such, the two routes are relatively flat and take place on quiet roads in the Paarl/Wellington area.

Members of the Youth Empowerment Project were delighted last week to receive bicycles and helmets from the Pedal Power Association. The “YEP clan” is a dynamic structure within the community of Khayelitsha striving to utilize different ways of encouraging participation for young people through various development programs.

Pedal Power Assotiation staff members Jannis Jagger and Elizabeth Robbins last week ventured out to Vissershok Primary School near Durbanville to hand over ten brand-new mountain bicycles on behalf of PPA as part of PPA's annual project funding initiative.

The Pedal Power Association recently donated bicycles and helmets to the Anna Foundation as part of the PPA's current project funding initiative.  Last week PPA staff members visited Zorgvliet West, a farm nestled near the top of the Helshoogte Pass in Stellenbosch, to meet some of the farm kids whose lives are being changed for the better by this project.

Congratulations to all participants who completed the PPA One Tonner on Sunday. What a great event it was - we appreciate all the notes of 'thanks' we are still receiving. This year we had over 1300 entrants; many of whom will be doing the Coronation Double Century in November. Enjoy your recovery from the One Tonner and the last bit of training before the DC - we hope to see you back at the One Tonner start line next year.
