Donate your old cycling kit to South African Cycling Academies

With the Hotchillee Cape Rouleur 2020 fast approaching it’s time to launch our kit appeal! Every year we take previously used kit to South Africa, which we donate to young riders living in Cape Town.

This year we’re proud to continue supporting The Buffalo Foundation as the Hotchillee Global Charity Partner. The Buffalo Foundation aims to make a lasting difference to those people less fortunate through sport, education and the creation of future entrepreneurs. The primary focus of the foundation is supporting local cycling academies in South Africa, several of which Hotchillee has been working with since launching the Cape Rouleur and our Development Rider Programme in 2011 – so we’re thrilled to be supporting them.

You’ll hear more about this partnership over the coming months, but for now we’re asking anyone registered for the ride on 9th February (who isn’t riding the Cape Rouleur!) who’d like to donate any cycling clothing, helmets, shoes, saddles, GPX devices, heart rate monitors etc (you name it we’ll take it!) to please bring it with you. We will take it to South Africa on behalf of The Buffalo Foundation and donate to the cycling academies they work with.
