By completing the challenge riders automatically qualify for the monthly prizes. There will be specific routes on each of the following wine farms: Paul Cluver, Oak Valley, Wildekrans and Lourensford. We have not forgotten about the W2W riders that are not based in Cape Town. For these riders there will be a generic challenge that will put them in contention for the monthly prizes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy introducing a \u2018competition\u2019 there\u2019s an automatic social factor that always adds excitement,\u201d continues Meyer. \u201cNot only will W2W entrants get to experience parts of the 2017 route, they\u2019ll also get to visit and spend some time on the magnificent wine farms that they usually only get to ride through on event day. The W2W experience does not start in October, it starts now. We invite all entrants to challenge friends, better yet, challenge your W2W team mate. Don\u2019t forget about the training program on the event website that was tailor-made for W2W by DaisyWay Coaching Systems. We look forward to welcoming an even fitter field of mountain bikers to the FNB W2W MTB Events at the end of October.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The FNB W2W Strava Winery Challenge and prizes are exclusive to paid entrants of the 2017 FNB W2W MTB Adventure, Ride and Race.
