A call to support our young development riders!! We are in need of 10 bicycles capable of taking on the challenge of the 2019 Cape Town Cycle Tour. Lend a bicycle, donate a bicycle or contribute financially to the purchase of a bicycle, any other ideas welcome. #TEAMGVHS2019 is a group of 20 young development riders from Groenvlei High School on the Cape Flats. Their mission is threefold: - To spread awareness of cancer amongst Adolescents and Young Adults (AYAs) in support of Aris Cancer Foundation - To promote the sport of cycling - To promote peace in their communities The learners have spent the last 2 months training hard in the High School gym on spinning bikes and using 15 commuter bikes to train on the roads, generously donated by the Pedal Power Association, Bike for All and Qhubeka. They have covered distances of up to 74kms, mostly on the flat terrain, and with only 7 training weekends left it is time to take to the hills, Chappies and Suikerbossie in particular. To do that we need them to have bicycles capable of taking on the challenge. Watch our young riders in action on a training ride in December 2018.
