🚴‍♂️ PARA-CYCLING WORKSHOP IN ACTION! 🚴‍♀️

Saturday, 22 August we had a wonderful morning of learning, sharing and working together! Our Para-Cycling Technical Workshop at Alta du Toit School was a great success.

A very special thank you to Koos Engelbrecht for generously sharing his many years of experience and knowledge. Athletes, parents, coaches and supporters received valuable hands-on advice on tricycle maintenance, adjustments, safety checks and problem solving. Koos also assisted with practical repairs and individual cycling needs.

We were delighted to have learners from Paul Roos Gymnasium join us. They assisted and attended the workshop – thank you for your enthusiasm and willingness to get involved! 👏

Thank you to everyone who attended, assisted and contributed to making the morning such a positive experience. It is through opportunities like these that we continue to develop our athletes, share knowledge and grow para-cycling in the Western Cape. ❤️💙

Supporting athletes. Building potential. Moving forward together.
