It has been a successful September for the Fairtree DP World Cannondale cycling team with standout performances at the recent Go2Berg event. Yomelela Mfazwe and Winile Majavu were the MTB team members who took on the Go2Berg, which took place from Saturday 13 to Friday 19 September. This is the first time that the Stellenbosch-based team took part in the amazing event and the women did not disappoint. The race started in Villiers, 90 minutes south of Johannesburg in the North-Eastern Free State town, and riders made their way through the Free State towns of Frankfort, Reitz, Clarens, the Sterkfontein Dam and from there it was a massive drop from the Free State into KwaZulu-Natal. After a few nights in Emseni the women made it to the finish on the foothills of the mighty Drakensberg Mountain Range. Majavu completed the race in 21:43:52, while teammate Mfazwe completed it in 22:09:53.
