to Ride the 2021 FNB Wines2Whales Switchback
While we have strived, with all our might, to host an event on the same scale as the FNB Wine2Whales of the past decade, due to COVID-19 restrictions, entry numbers for the 2021 FNB W2W have been reduced to ensure that the 2021 goes ahead and that #SeriousGEES wins the day.
We’re not runners. If you enter and pay for the 2021 FNB W2W Switchback, your money is safe. If the worst-case scenario occurs and the event has to be cancelled or postponed due to COVID-19, 100% of the money you have paid will be transferred to the 2022 FNB W2W.
Goals give us all something to work towards. Make the FNB Wines2Whales Switchback your MTB goal for the year and kick your training into overdrive as the event is rapidly approaching.
Over the past year, we’ve told you all about how the Cape Trails team, led by JK himself, have carved out countless switchbacks, moved boulders, wrangled puff adders, and carved out new trails that’ll have even the most seasoned adventure seekers grinning from ear to ear.
