The Tour Durban was held last weekend.  With perfect weather, lovely tracks and tons of people our results were good.  The MTB was held on saturday, with Nick Porteous having a super race to finish 8th over all in the marathon.  In the half Marathon Mariza Viljoen took first place in her age category followed by Mr Mike Bennison also clocking a good time.  Sunday was the big one.With so many of our riders suffering with Flu only a small number took to the tar.  With the first local home in a time of 2:48 CJ Dressing.  Our First Lady home Heather Malan in a time of 3:08.  Well done to all our locals who took on this weekends races.

A special mention to all our brave athletes who tackled the JHB2c.  Eric/Howard. Roeloff/Freek and top of the pops Axel/Danie.  Well done Guys.  You have done Bundu Bashers proud.  Last week thursday's Time trial was a huge success.With Elmo Van Der Spuy setting the fastest time.its going to be interesting to see how long he can hold that record for.  Keep an eye for when the next Time Trial will take place.

This Thursday we will be doing our usual outride from Dura Cycles.  Leaving 4:15pm.

Saturday morning outride will leave Dura Cycles 6:30am.  With 4 MTB groups and 2 road Groups all are welcome.  This weekend is the very popular Karkloof MTB Festival.  Good Luck to everyone taking part.

 Thats it for this week.

God Bless
