With the addition of the Desert Dash to our historic Nedbank Cycle Challenge, as well as the road race and mountain bike series, we are quite excited that we now offer all cycling enthusiasts a singular experience every time they participate in a Nedbank-sponsored event,” said Meeks.
De Lange expressed his delight at the fact that the race that he has nurtured to its current eminence now has a new sponsor on board.
“Nedbank Namibia has always shown that it has the development of cycling at its heart. I am excited to see what we can jointly do to make the 2015 Nedbank Desert Dash the best experience ever, given Nedbank’s proficiency at hosting premier cycling races,” said De Lange.
