Proud hosts of the first ever...
Dura-Ventures was proud to host the first ever night cross country lap racing on the South Coast , The Dura-Cycles Knight Series on Friday evening 6th May 2011.
The idea of mountain biking at night is at best an adventure all on it's own, add the element of competition and you have a whole new dimension to contend with.
Dura-Ventures strived to give the race an element of surprise to the competitors and fun riders alike, By producing really " funky " reflective signage on the track ," lumo " uniforms on marshalls and pumpimg music at the timing zone, all helped to make the race a real hit enjoyed by the entrants and spectators alike.
It was very encouraging to see the turn out of young and old alike with most of the category ages having particpants. Young Nicholas De Bruin even finished his race with his saddle strapped on with marking tape.. But the real dust hit the tyres with the race between Jono Downham and Elmo Van Der Spuy who literally " Blitzed " the track - Jono setting the night series lap record of 12minutes 59 seconds. Bernardt Keudel Schaffer came in a respectable third but not so blitz.
In the Nippers Cwynton Collett and Cale Lindecke fought for line honours to the bitter end with Cwynton just pipping Cale at the post by a few seconds ... wow what a race.
The arm chair safari group consisting of Nicky Smith, Johan Potgieter and "Obelix" kurt Kuhn gave sanity to the whole event and meandered around the track in consistent lap times.
The bravest girl of the evening was little Megan Bircher who took a first in the Nipper Girl category.
Josh Kuhn, Evan Van Der Spuy, Brian Lindecke and Brandon ( Bob ) Venter showed a clean set of cleats to the rest of the competitors in their age group and taking primary place accross the finish line.
The Dura-Cycles Knight Series is for all mountain bikers competitive or not - the emphasis is on " Fun " and after all it is something different to do.
Thanks for the support you made our effort worth it
