RIDERS CAN MAKE WISHES COME TRUE BY GETTING A KWANO CYCLING RACE SHIRT
Back in February 2014 the Kwano Cycling Academy (KCA) was launched in partnership with the Murray High School in Kwanokathula and is used as a catalyst to uplift historically disadvantaged youngsters and communities.
KCA are the sole beneficiaries of the MTO Tour de Plett and race participation directly helps to “make wishes come true”.
Riders can also support KCA by buying and wearing the all NEW Kwano race shirts. These stunning import quality shirts will be available for R950 at the race village so look great and support a worthy initiative!
Enjoy’s Octane cycle top made from luxurious 130gsm micro birdseye combined with 90gsm highly breathable 4-way stretch Respira™ mesh. The cut of the cycle top has been designed to provide increased venting around the shoulder blades and bicep areas and the mesh is continued through to the side panels. The sleeves of the shirt are slightly longer than average finishing below mid-bicep and feature laser cut lycra ends.
