Stopforth hopes for better Cape Pioneer Trek on second attempt

One of South Africa's top female mountain bikers, Ischen Stopforth (Bizhub), will again race the DCM Cape Pioneer Trek from October 17-22 this year. Stopforth was one of the heroes of last year's event. After crashing heavily during the first stage, she endured severe pain and raced on to win that stage with her mixed team partner Marcel Deacon.
