Cyclists participating in the Kremetart road cycle race will be able to win in more ways than one when the event takes place in Louis Trichardt, Limpopo on June 9.<\/p>\n
A ride that covers 175km for the elite men and a 140km distance for the elite women is sure to attract some of the country’s top cyclists.<\/p>\n
Already the women’s race is set to be well-contested, with Cape Town Cycle Tour winner Kim le Court, South African road champion Carla Oberholzer and Lynette Burger of the Demacon Ladies team competing.<\/p>\n
With HEAD Bikes SA as its equipment sponsor, the team has been in dominant form this year, winning multiple events on the South African calendar.<\/p>\n
Besides the prize giving after the race, one lucky cyclist is also in line to take home a highly prized Westfalia bike rack – valued at just under R6 000 – at the closing ceremony.<\/p>\n
The prize has been donated by South African company Positive Sports Solutions, who have negotiated a number of deals to make top-rated cycling equipment from Europe available to local consumers.<\/p>\n
Apart from the Westfalia bike racks, cyclists in South Africa are able to purchase HEAD bicycles through the company, while the Italian-produced Gipiemme wheels will be available in the second half of the year.<\/p>\n
Positive Sports Solutions salesman Jaco Smit said there had been a spike in the cycling fraternity’s interest in the Westfalia rack option.<\/p>\n
“There’s huge interest in a good-quality bike rack at an affordable price and that is exactly what we can offer,” said Smit.<\/p>\n
“It’s a German product and if you compare it to any other brands you will notice that it gives you excellent value, and it comes with a five-year warranty.”<\/p>\n
Smit said the giveaway, valued at R5 999, would take the form of a lucky draw, with all competitors having a chance to put their numbers in a box after the race.<\/p>\n
“We will be present at the event and will do the draw, along with emcee Johnny Koen, at the potjiekos and prize-giving.”<\/p>\n
He added that Positive Sports Solutions would have a gazebo at the race with a display of their products.<\/p>\n
“There will be HEAD bicycles and the Westfalia BC75 ZA bike rack on promotion at the event, so you can view all the products under \u2018one roof’.<\/p>\n
“We are aiming to create awareness of what we offer and the Westfalia bike rack giveaway is not just about promoting the quality of the product, but also its value [R5 999], which includes VAT and delivery in SA.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
