The annual Lake Eland Classic took place on Sunday 30th October. It was very well supported by our local riders aswell as riders from Durban and Maritzburg.
The event catered for the entire family with a variety of races ranging from the 45km classic to the 5km fun ride. Riders were treated to some awesome single track riding and spectacular views. The weather also played its part by providing cool and dry conditions for all the riders.
It was so great to see families riding together and fathers riding with children on their first mountain bike race.
Well done to all the local mountain bikers and bundu bashers who competed in this year’s event. A few of our talented young riders produced some excellent results, considering the large and competitive field that rode on the day. Congratulations to local rider Justin Porteous for finishing 2nd overall in the 45km classic.
A special well done to the Lake Eland event committee and Lake Eland Game Reserve for putting together a fantastic weekend event. We look forward to next year.
A large group of local mountain bikers competed in the berg and bush on this same weekend. The berg and bush was a 3 day stage event from 28th to 30th October. Well done to all the bundu bashers who competed and conquered this year’s berg and bush, showing tremendous strength and endurance.
And congratulations to Darren Purtell and Hayley Smith for finishing 4th in the mixed men and women category! This is an excellent result for these two young riders as they were up against some stiff competition. Well done and we’re proud of you!
Just a reminder of the Saturday morning rides from Dura Cycles, leaving at 06h30. All riders are welcome and all fitness levels are catered for between the fast, medium and social group. And join us for a friendly cup of coffee afterwards. Hope to see you all there.
Keep fit and ride hard! See you in the dirt…..smiling!
