Sugar Challenge Mountain Bike Event
On
Sunday 01 July 2012, South Coast Hospice will be hosting the Sugar
Mountain Bike Challenge from Shelley Beach on the South Coast of KZN.
The Challenge will take place over 8 Sugar Cane farms and surrounding
areas, in the Izotsha, St Mikes, Shelley Beach and Uvongo districts.
This
event will be made up of 4 races, consisting of distances of 45km,
25km, 12km & 5km, so that everyone from your professional riders and
casual bike enthusiasts down to families and youngsters, can choose and
participate in this amazing event.
Starting at the UGU sports
Stadium in Izotsha, cyclists will pass through Scot Scott’s farm at a
brisk pace, they will cross the Hlangeni River, and onto Johan
Reddinger’s Rottenberg Farm, which is currently being leased by Anthony
Apostolides.
The track will pass the ruins, and snake towards
the back of Pure Venom and Andre Parnell’s house. Cyclists will pass
the Reddinger homestead on their way East Wards towards Betania Lutheran
church.
The site of South Coast Halfway Toyota, marks the
milestone. Turning South Wards back to Scott Scott’s, then passing Ralf
Schroder’s house, back to Hamel Farm and around and above Osca
Bruggemann’s dam, which will lead into Seaview farm (Detlerf Wiegmann),
across the D687 and down towards the Margate quarry road.
The
track branches off and goes towards the old Solana Park and loops back
passing the clay brick yard. The final stretch will head down towards
Fred Lauterbach’s Exchange farm, cutting trough the bananas and coming
out at the Uvongo, Escom sub station. Home stretch, will pass through
Hamel farm once again, and back towards the UGU stadium.
South
Coast Hospice is grateful to the farmers who have participated in this
project. This fundraising highlight would not be possible without Louis
Wiegmann, Ryan Mostert, Kurt Khun and Mark Bolton from Duracycles in
Shelly Beach.
With an estimation of 400 rider set to take to the
track and a full day of activities and entertainment on the program, for
those who are not taking to the track, we are expecting this event to
supersede our expectation and become a highlight of the South Coast
calendar during the July school holidays each year.
To become part of this winning South Coast Event and South Coast Hospice Fundraising Initiative, we have put together the following sponsorship options for your to select. http://www.schospice.co.za/sugar-mtb-challenge.html

South Coast Fever - On Top of the World
For the article go to South Coast Fever Web Site
A muddy Hayley Smith of Uvongo basks in her World Cup victory.PHOTOS: Darren Goddard (cycho.co.za)/Gameplan Media
South Coast starlet overcomes all odds to seal World Cup victory.HAYLEY Smith (Bell Equipment) claimed a watershed win in the biggest race of her budding career when she triumphed in the junior women’s cross-country race at the RockyRoads UCI MTB World Cup Pietermaritzburg at the Cascades MTB Park last Saturday.
The World Cup debutant’s already shot nerves were compounded as the heavens opened moments prior to the race, which forced event organisers to cordon off certain sections of the course for safety reasons.
The Uvongo teenager, as she has done her entire life, defied the odds in the dire conditions to secure a convincing victory in a time of 59 minutes 11 seconds, a full four minutes 19 seconds ahead of runner-up Nicole Erasmus.
“I can’t believe what I have just done! I am so overwhelmed with my win and glad that all my training and preparations have paid off. I desperately wanted this win,” an elated Smith told The Fever.
“I was very nervous before the race and then it started to rain really hard and I forgot all about my nerves and was trying to work out how I was going to race this extreme track in these wet conditions.
“This is definitely one of my biggest achievements in my cycling career so far. It has been a very exciting weekend for me and one I will always remember,” she added.
Smith’s victory was the most emotional and remarkable of all over the course of the weekend as it came less than a year after the inspirational young rider had undergone heart surgery to treat an arrhythmia with a cardiac ablation.
17-year-old Smith had been battling with an abnormally high heart beat for about 18 months and would often have spells of light-headedness, lack of energy and even fainted after races.
It was only early in 2011, when she was selected through Cycling South Africa as a member of the Sport Science Institute’s High Performance Team that her condition was correctly diagnosed and she was withdrawn from the team to undergo treatment.
After making a full recovery, Smith suffered another setback when she broke her collarbone during her first race back which required a plate and five screws to be inserted. She said her love for mountain biking never waned and was the main driving force behind her recovery.
“I never dreamt that I would achieve this goal so soon after what I had been through last year. Last year was a very challenging year for me health wise and I am just so grateful that I am able to cycle again. All I wanted to do was to get better and get back on my bicycle and do what I love most.
“The World Cup experience has been awesome and watching all the top riders in the world and getting to chat to some of them is really cool. The vibe of everyone cheering and shouting for the riders out on the track is awesome and really helps to motivate you.”
Prior to Smith’s heroics, Umtentweni superstar Burry Stander (Specialized Racing) secured second place in the elite men’s cross-country race after narrowly being edged by world number two Nino Schurter (Scott-Swisspower MTB Racing Team) of Switzerland.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been on the podium, so second place is not what you aim for, you always aim to win, but I’m satisfied with what I did today,” said Stander.
“It was a big race that I wanted to do well in. It’s definitely the most stressful World Cup for me all year. The level goes up every year. Today we were probably going faster than we were three years ago.
“I think everyone is on top of their game and trying to improve where they can and I realised last year that I would have to do the same and pick up my level if I were going to carry on competing. That’s what I’ve done. It seems to be working and I hope to build and get stronger going forward,” he added.
Candice Neethling (BMC) and Evan van der Spuy (Varsity College) also did the South Coast proud in the season opener, the former finishing as the top-placed South African in the women’s Under-23 cross-country race (11th) and the latter 14th in the junior men’s cross-country race.

BUNDU Bashers can again hold their heads up with pride after yet again representing the club and the South Coast at the highest level with James Reid, Hayley Smith and Brandon Venter finishing second in their respective categories in round two of the Momentum Health XCO Internationals over the weekend. Cale Lindecke managed a hard-fought third whilst Gary Neethling, Candice Neethling, Brian Lindecke, Evan van der Spuy and Dominic de Bruin (with no back brakes) finished in the top five.
The weekend once again hailed a great turnout for the club ride from Dura-Cycles with thrills and spills galore. Karen Preston earned her long overdue voyager miles straight over her handle bars. It is so encouraging to see the amount of mud hoppers riding with the ever young Pete Swinney in the “Super Social“ group. Parents come along with your youngsters, how much better can it get riding with your child out in nature and the glorious surrounding of the South Coast?
There will be more cross-country racing at Cascades this coming weekend and don’t forget to keep the days free for the upcoming World Cup - it is super spectator friendly this year. The Dura-Cycles School Series will kick-off in the second term so keep checking www.bundubasher.co.za and www.duracycles.co.za for details.
There will be the usual club ride from Dura-Cycles this Saturday at 6:30 am sharp with four groups heading out. Quote of the week: “Marriage is a wonderful invention; but then again, so is a bicycle repair kit.” - Lord Charles Beresford.

Petition for Cycle Lanes on the Hibiscus Coast - Hibberdene to Port Edward
Imagine flying above the coast on a short trip from Hibberdene to Port Edward. Looking out the window of the plane you can see bicycle lanes as a continuous, single, coloured strip unifying the entire Hibiscus coast from one end to the other.
There is a great “road safety need” for South African motorists to be made aware that roads are not built solely for their use. Roads are frequently used by pedestrians, dog walkers, joggers and cyclists alike. Road demarcations , together with appropriate signage, will help drivers become more aware of the presence of cyclists. It is also known that cyclists generally feel safer when using cycle lanes.
Bike lanes are defined as “a portion of the roadway which has been designated by striping, signing and pavement marking for the preferential or exclusive use by cyclists”. Bicycle lanes make the movements of both motorists and cyclists more predictable and as with other bicycle facilities there are advantages to all road users in striping them on the roadway.
Bicycle-friendly cities such as London and Amsterdam in Europe and various cities in the U.S have developed extensive bike lane networks since the 1970′s and more recently large cities such as Tucson, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Portland and Seattle have begun to stripe bike lanes on their arterial and collector streets as a way of encouraging bicycle use.
There are a number of innovative bike lane designs that have been tried and tested to overcome particular barriers to cycling, or to solve a problem in a particular location.
- Coloured bike lanes have been a feature of bicycle infrastructure in the Netherlands (red), Denmark (blue), France (green) and many other countries for many years. In the United Kingdom, both red and green pigments are used to delineate bike lanes and bike boxes.
- A growing number of communities are using shared bus and bike lanes to give preferential treatment to both bikes and public transport.
- While bike lanes should normally carry cyclists in the direction of traffic, there are some locations where there is a strong demand for cyclists to travel against the normal flow of traffic, or to travel in both directions on a one-way street.
34 Great Reasons To Have One Continuous Cycle Lane between Hibberdene and Port Edward
- Unifying the Hibiscus coast with a single, continuous demarcated cycle strip
- Our Hibiscus Coast Will be Seen to Join the Global Environmental Initiative in Lowering our Carbon Footprint
- Tourism Spin off – The Hibiscus Coast as a Quality Road Biking Destination

Bundu Bashers Do It Again
Bundu Bashers do it again.
Thanks to all you rock hoppers out there that attended the Bundu Bahers AGM and prize giving. I don't think that too many clubs can boast an attendance of over sixty people. Once again it has been a good year of racing with a number of Bundu Bashers getting KZN colours from the Master category through to our Juniors.
Thanks to the Bundu Bashers committee for a well run AGM and a tireless year at the helm of a great club.
This week end saw racing at the Wartberg classic and again we were proudly represented by Bundu Bashers, congrats to Neville Collette who was way up the ranks at the finish of the forty five km. A thank you must also go to Lawrence Wedderburn for organizing a ride from Pacdock club and the braai afterward - it was a great hit for those mud mates that rode.
There is plenty on the go at the moment so keep in touch with the web site or Heather at Dura-Cycles. From Mid March Dura-Cyles will be hosting a number of Sani 2 C training rides as well as the normal Saturday rides. If you are not in the loop send your details to Heather and we will make sure that you are kept informed.
Mountain Biker quote of the week

This week saw the first of the Natal Champs on the road riding scene, again Bundu Basher Cale Lindecker gave the club something to boast about by finishing 3rd in the Time Trial event and 4th in the road race, Congrats Cale keep on going, This week had another fantastic turn out at Dura:Cycles, guys Bundu Bashers are getting seriously back into riding ,,,, I am sure that somewhere there is a champion about to happen, It is great to see the really young guns joining in the action with Mvuyiso having his first ride our youngest rider is 7 years old and the the oldest rider 80, not too many clubs can boast that.
