PLENTY OF RIDES THIS HOLIDAY
BUNDU BASHERS - (South Coast Fever December 18, 2009)
PLENTY OF RIDES THIS HOLIDAY
The holidays are filled with plenty of rides, but before I begin, congratulations to Candy Neethling for winning the 2009 Urban Rage on Saturday. With some really stiff competition as well as wet, tight-riding conditions, it was no wonder that our mountainbike ladies thrived. Hayley Smith finished fifth overall, making the Super final which, trust me, is no easy task.
With R10 000 up for graps in the ladies race, we all knew some serious racing was ahead. In the mens race, we had a big contingency which made for some great wipeouts and incredible times. It was no joke as the riders with the top 10 times were selected for the Super finals. Fortunately things went my way and I managed to squeeze into 10th place, whcih ment I'd have to be firest off in the Super final. I set a cool time and managed to pull off a sixth place finish, only one second off a podium spot. Big thanks to Max Cluer and his team who put it all together.

RIDE, RIDE AND RIDE SOME MORE
Season is here which means one thing to us local riders - ride, ride and ride some more. Today we will be riding from Dura Cycles at 3.45pm for 4.00pm. We'll ride at a medium pace which should take about tow hours to complete the course. Only one group will be riding. Saturday's ride will be at the famous Clear Water trails at 7.00am. We will have three groups so all are welcome.
Saturday will also be the Urban Rage in Durban. Course designer Jan Man says the course is "Awesome" with very tight rail rides, floating bridges, 180 berms over the water and big drop-offs. With R15 000 up for first place, I'm sure the wipe outs will be furious and the competition sizzling.
Sunday morning's ride will leaves Dura Cycles at 7.00am. We will be meeting up with Bennie and Colin to do around a 70km pedal.
Please diarise 28 December for the Sani Pass ride. If you are keen to join in on the action let me know on 072 272 4330.
God Bless
Jono Downham
