Fairbairn Private Bank cycling team's young star

The Fairbairn Private Bank Cycling Team (Team FPB) is fast becoming a force to be reckoned with in the cycling fraternity in South Africa, and a significant contributor to this success is our young star Craig Boyes. 

Team FPB was formed earlier this year with a newly formed team participating in the gruelling eight-day Cape Epic Mountainbike race, and has subsequently grown in stature and team members, and with it garnered a string of successes in cycling and multisport.  During this period Team FPB with the help of ATC Multisport, South Africa’s largest multisport club, have actively sought to identify young athletes with potential, and assist in some small way in developing this sporting talent. 

In line with this program, 19 year-old Craig joined the Team some there months ago.  He has been a keen cyclist from an early age and over the past few years has become a familiar face at the front of the field in Western Cape Mountainbiking events.  His dedication to cycling has helped him overcome some life challenges and we are pleased that his training and sheer drive is responsible for putting Team FPB on the podium in the most recent races of the season. 

When not working hard to complete his final year of school, he is on his mountainbike or training with his coach, Line Griffiths, who has also works with the World Champion Bulls Mountainbike Team.  Craig’s most recent podium achievement was at the National Cross-Country Mountainbiking Championships.  He will be joined for the remainder of the season by an additional development athlete as Team FPB take on the Karoo to Coast Mountainbike Race and the Cape Pioneer Stage Race.  He will also be part of a Fairbairn Private Bank team in the highly competitive Coronation Double Century Cycle Race next month, where some of South Africa’s top multisport athletes have joined the Team as guests for this 12-person team endurance race. 

Team FPB continues to raise the Bank’s profile in the very popular local cycling and multisport arena, as well as the associated charities which Team FPB supports in South Africa.
