BUNDU BASHERS - ( South Coast Fever November 27,2009)
With a fun-filled weekend full of riding, racing, bikes braking, wipeouts and cramping nothing proved too much for our Bundu Basher athletes.
Saturday morning's ride from Dura Cycles was good fun. Happy to have Burry Stander back in the fold as well as his girlfriend Charise, who beat me in the sprint finnish...she was just lucky. With Pete Marshe doing a dive in the river - keep it up, Pete - as well as some new faces, Bron Noyle from Johannesburg tested her legs in the social group and did very well.
Sunday morning was the Outsurance MTB race from Giba to Sun Coast Casino. Bundu Bashers got some great results. Elmo pulled a first in the juniors, followed by brother, Evan, who had crank problems but, nevertheless, rode in with one leg.
Danie Otto also raced very well to beat some big names. It was a tough ride for some - Charles had some unfortunate bike problems - I suppose thats mountain biking for you.
It was good to see Arj Landsberg on the bike. For those that stayed at home, you missed out on a great exploration ride with John and Natashka. Bernardt and I joined up with them and hit the back of the sugar mill. With some huge hills under the belt and John and Natashka still fresh, we saw we were miss-matched, so we opted for the easy route home leaving the Alpe team to do their thing.
This Saturday we'll be riding from Dura Cycles 6.30am. All are welcome.
That's it for the week. Remember to get your ride reviews to me so I can put them in the news.
God Bless Jono
