\n\tIn celebration of Greg Minnaar winning his fourth World Championship Title in 2021 and racing the 2022 season in the hallowed rainbow stripes, Santa Cruz Bicycles and Maxxis Tyres \u2013 two of Minnaar\u2019s longtime sponsors \u2013 hosted The Good Vibes Tour in honour of The GOAT\u2019s inspiring achievement.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe three-stop tour visited Cape Town, Pietermaritzburg and Joburg at the end of November, with Santa Cruz and Maxxis retailers inviting their key customers to meet and spend time getting to know Greg over a few ice-cold Mountain Goat lagers.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Tour was not only about Good Vibes, but also about contributing to the Greater Good with a signed Greg Minnaar 2022 Santa Cruz Syndicate Jersey being auctioned during each of the 3 evenings.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn total, an incredible R106 000 was raised, with Cape Town and Joburg raising R68 000 in aid of #ChasingZero, an anti-rhino poaching initiative and Greg\u2019s official charity. In Maritzburg, R38 000 was raised for Town Bush Trails, a local trail advocacy and building group whose work benefits all mountain bikers in the local area.\n<\/p>\n
