As preparations intensify for the 2024 Nedbank Tour de Great Dyke, the Mimosa Cycling Club has confirmed its readiness to take part in the three-day cycling marathon, which aims to promote wellness and raise funds for underprivileged children. The annual charity event, running from November 7-9, covers a 320-kilometer stretch through Zimbabwe’s Great Dyke, known for its picturesque landscapes and vibrant mining communities.
Club captain Edson Mahaye revealed that some members of the team will join the main group at the starting point in Selous, while others will commence their journey from Unki Mine, ensuring broad participation across the different legs of the tour.
Speaking to Great Dyke News, Mahaye expressed excitement about the upcoming event, noting that it offers both physical benefits and an opportunity to experience the region’s scenic beauty.
“We are looking forward to having a great time on the road, just like last year. The tour gave us the chance to explore several towns and cities within the Great Dyke while enjoying breathtaking views along the way,” he said.
Mahaye also highlighted the health benefits of cycling, encouraging more people to embrace the sport.
The Nedbank Tour de Great Dyke, founded by YA FM, has grown in popularity over the years, attracting cyclists from different sectors, including mining companies like Mimosa. The tour not only promotes fitness but also fosters community spirit by giving back to charitable causes.
