School & Knight Series to be held 23 September 2011

Hi All

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend?

Well done to those riders who conquered the Night Series MTB Race on Friday. It was great to see the enthusiasm amongst the riders, despite the miserable weather conditions. I have attached the results from Friday evenings event.  

This is a reminder to please diarise Friday 23^rd September 2011. This day is going to be jam packed with some awesome mountain biking for everyone!

Dura-Ventures and Dura Cycles will be hosting the ever-popular School Series and the exciting Knight Series – both on 23^rd September. The venue is at Douglas Mitchell Sports Grounds.

The School Series will begin with registration at 14h00, and racing will commence at 14h30. R30  per rider. All school children welcome (Junior Primary to High School). Really cool prizes!

As the sun starts to set we will begin with the Knight Series. Registration starts at 17h00, and racing at 18h00. For the racing category – it’s R85 per rider (includes R25 meal voucher). For the social category – it’s R55 per rider (includes R25 meal voucher). This will be the fifth and final event of the Dura Cycles Knight Series. There are prizes for riders who have competed and excelled in each of the events.

Those mountain bikers who have not yet experienced night riding, it’s a whole lot of fun and definitely worth a try.

We hope to see you all there for a fun-filled afternoon of mountain biking.

We will send out another reminder closer to the time.

Dura Cycles own Heather Malan to cycle from Jhb - Mgt for charity

This year 5-9th October 2011 our very own Heather Malan will be joining Cycling friends to complete the 860 km trip from Johannesburg to Margate in KZN to raise money for the Pro Deo Care Group.


To survive the Pro Deo Care Group derives its funds from projects like the Cycling Tour and donations made by people attending the clinics, but the costs of goods and apparatus required is escalating yearly. Money raised has to be well managed and purchasing of wheelchairs, pulpit walkers, commodes, bath chairs, foot spa's, hearing aids, oxygen cylinders, special toilet seats, special mattresses and blood pressure apparatus is done with care so that funds are not used unnecessarily. Being elderly can, as we have said, be lonely and these people can feel that they have been forgotten.


Any donations would be greatly appreciated. Donations can be made by clicking on this link Doit4charity
