Jackal Berry MTB Challenge 2013

This year's Jackal Berry MTB Cycle Challenge is set to hit the dirt tracks on November 29th through till the 30th, with riders and sponsors hoping to raise R50 000 for the Ubuhle Day Care and Development Centre in Bronkhorstspruit.

The participants are made up of staff members from the 4PL Group, BMi Research, Networks Online as well as some new faces from other companies. They will be taking on nature's elements when they set off on their mountain bikes from Bronkhorstspruit to Machadodorp, a gruelling 250km off road trail over two days. The first day is a challenging 180km combination of tar and dirt road and some significant hills while day two, the final 70km's, also promises some equally rough terrain.

Ubuhle was founded in 2008 by a group of local volunteers, with the aim of helping orphans and vulnerable children in farming communities in the Bronkhorstspruit Metsweding District. Ubuhle now provides a pre-school facility and an English primary school up to level 3, after-school care, workshops and courses for adults, as well as some aid to develop new income sources of to the 200 rural families living in the rural area.

Anyone interested in sponsoring the riders can contact Lezaan Prinsloo at BMi Research.
