This past weekend’s participation of Lesotho cyclists in the finals of the South African schools mountain bike league is an exciting endorsement of the work done by BikeTown Africa in Maseru last month. Not only did these riders participate on quality bikes donated by BikeTown Africa, but they know there is a whole bunch of other riders nipping at their heels, being trained up on the bikes donated and the course built.

It was hard toil, but what a reward!
Here’s BikeTown Africa’s recipe for achieving the success that this weekend has displayed.
