Just a quick note to say thank you so much for the entry to the Wild Ride. I have been riding for 25-odd years and this is one of the nicest rides I have ever done. It was so much fun and so well organised, from start to finish. Of course the feeling that so much goes back in to the poor community is also great. The work that you guys are involved with is amazing, well done. A big thank you to Mother Mandy as well please, she made sure that Ciara and I were so comfortable every night.

Wow! What an experience! Only people who have been on the Wild Ride know what we try to say when we attempt describing it. Life changing, indeed. Thanks so much for fantastic organisation! I surely hope this is not my last ride...

I had the BEST most memorable MTB race of my life . I forgot just special the race and the vibe is , it's a truly unique race. Thanks again for an incredible four days.

Thanks once again for yet another awesome Wild Ride experience! Thanks for your enormous input & effort to make this ride run so smoothly whilst keeping the cost so low. In the end it was just what we needed, and we went back home in much better spirits than when we arrived at Morgan Bay (after 2weeks and months prior, of physical & emotional pain!), ha!

This is a short note to thank you for another amazing experience. I am in awe of all that you have achieved over the years and hope that you will continue to make a difference in the lives of so many people in future. The time spent, and effort that you made to make it such a wonderful event is really appreciated.

2016 was my first Wild Ride experience. I have one criticism: very irresponsible of you guys to put on the best event I have ever experienced. Where to for me from here?! Magic event, people, logistics, everything. Change nothing. Witnessing the school opening was special.

Matthew and myself would like to thank you personally very much for the outstanding support and service you gave us during the race experience. You really went the extra mile, on many occasions. The race was so well organized and everything went 100%, the two teams we had also said they have never experienced such a smooth experience (not talking about the actual physical race…😊) but the accommodation, delivery of bags, ready and waiting, meals etc, they were very impressed at the brilliant organising.

I would like to express Markus and my gratitude towards the Wild Ride. It was an unbelievable experience and something we will cherish. The Transkei made a massive impression on him and I am sure he will be back to the area often in his life. Thank you for everything you did in assisting us to make the long trip. Your attention to detail and help with all the small things are greatly appreciated. You are all a very special group of people.

Thanks for yet another amazing Wild Ride. I am so impressed by what you have achieved with this iconic race on the one hand, and with WREC on the other. The race and the experience touches the communities and the riders. What you may not realise is that you inspire every rider who passes through and sees what you do, to be part of a solution in SA, by giving back to such communities. It’s a fantastic legacy that you can be truly proud of, and it's awesome that the next generation of Haws and Stamps will take it forward.

After having had a chance to digest an amazing week, I just wanted to email to say thanks. It was our first Wild Ride and it did not disappoint! It was spectacular in every way - everything from the organisation, hotels, food and of course, the scenery and weather (you clearly had the ear of the "weather gods") was great. We were part of the non-race group and Mandy really looked after us. I've gone from "do this race at least once" to "must do this race every year".
