According to Bianca Grobbelaar, Marketing Manager Specialized Bicycles, Cape Trails are outdoing themselves. \u201cJust listening to Johan Krieger talking about the Cape Trails team will give you goose bumps. These guys are the unsung heroes and they put a lot of effort into building these trails. At Specialized we are passionate about bikes, the trails and trail building. This is just a small token of appreciation to thank them for what they\u2019ve done. We want them to ride and enjoy their own masterpieces\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday my dream came true,\u201d says Ashwell Swartz, Cape Trails. \u201cI am looking forward to experiencing the difference between riding a 29er and riding a 26er. Specialized bicycles are unique and classic. They are the best on the market. Owning one has been a huge desire of mine\u201d.<\/p>\n

Each Cape Trails route builder cycles +- 6000km a year, this includes cycling to work and back as well as going out on route while building the trails.<\/p>\n
