Bicycling South Africa is media partner for first African championship

"This is undoubtedly the biggest mountain-bike event of the year and we are thrilled that the organisers have elected to partner with the magazine to help promote the event to as wide an audience as possible," says editor, Mike Finch.

The magazine will produce a special spectators' guide in the July/August edition, detailing who and where to watch, the full programme and profiles of the great riders - perfect for fans travelling to Pietermaritzburg and those watching the action on television.
