tristansandwith Posted June 20, 2016 Share If FNB are behind this, it's sure to be a fantastic event (think Wines2Whales). Cascades single track should provide some entertaining spectating too. Very excited for this event, come on October. HeidiB and Varsity MTB Challenge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
