Globeleq team takes part in JBay MTB Open

The Globeleq team took part in the JBay MTB Open, which took place on Saturday 11 July 2015, and forms part of the JBay Winterfest. This event carries the unique distinction of being the only MTB event in Africa to run through a wind farm. This association has now been taken a step further with the Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm coming on board as title sponsor of the event.

The JBay MTB Open carries the distinction of being the only mountain bike race on the continent that traverses a wind farm. “We were very pleased with how the race was organised,” he said, explaining how important it was for the wind farm to build a relationship with the local community through events such as this. “We (the wind farm) are here for 20 years, so we’re looking at a long term relationship.
