LATEST NEWS

Join us for a brand new MTB funride on Sunday 16 September! The event will be using many of the Schapenberg MTB trails that PPA sponsored in 2010, with new trails currently being developed for the event. Check out our Facebook page for pics taken this week when we did a trail inspection. (PS We've now also added a video clip of one of the sections of single track to our Facebook page - go check it out!)

Winter or not, it’s still a great time to ride our bicycles, whether it’s on the road or venturing into the mountains. However, it’s important to know where you may and may not ride, and to keep a few safety tips in mind.

The Hout Bay Cycling club celebrates its second successful year based at James House, a community NGO serving the poor of Hout Bay which provides a base for the club. By way of a thank you to Christo Reid, Director of James House, the club organised a charity ride to raise funds for James House projects. The ride was the brain child of Josh Rubenstein, a grade 12 Waldorf student and one of the club’s volunteer coaches. Josh selected four of the top riders to take part in the epic 400 km three day ride, which started from Hout Bay and averaged 133 km per day. The route took in three major passes: Helshoogte, Franschhoek and Bains Kloof and took the riders to places they had never been to before.

We’ve had several ladies from our events asking for skills training sessions for Road cycling and Mountain Biking. So we are giving you just that ;-). PPA brings you 3 road and 2 MTB workshops for beginners and intermediates at discounted PPA prices. Book your spot now as spaces are limited.

The feedback says it all: "Thank you for such a well organised, great ladies event. I am looking forward to participating in the next one! Loved the vibe and the routes which catered for the different fitness levels." [caption id="attachment_2896" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="At the start of the 22 km route"][/caption]

The PPA office is at present evaluating new project funding applications received for the new funding year commencing in July 2012."We have received over 55 applications for project funding for 2012/2013," said PPA General Manager, Karin Pohl. "These include some really exciting applications around mountain biking, BMX and commuting."

Over ninety eager MTB bikers took advantage of the launch special and took to the mountains to try out the various trails at the official opening of the Paul Cluver/Thandi MTB trails on Sunday April. The trails were funded by PPA and Wine to Whales and included great new single-track sections including Tthe Switch Backs, Up & Downs, Pofadder, Geelslang and Huppelland.
