The bike fest organisers will also host a meeting of the South African National Biking Council Alliance (SANBC) on Saturday, April 29, the day after the meet and greet.
At the meeting 13 council members from biking clubs from KwaZulu-Natal to Cape Town will meet to discuss any matters relating to biking in South Africa. These representatives will also attend the VIP presidents’ meet and greet.
