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

"I can't say I was ever lost, but I was bewildered once for three days." -Yup the end is right over this hill. Or was it that hill...

Normal Club rides 6,30 am  from Dura-Cycles, four groups catered for and the ever friendly cuppa coffee afterward.

Till next time see you in the dirt.... Smiling

NEW MTB TRAIL

Rocky Bay MTB Trail

17km / 27km / 35km

The owners of ROCKY BAY RESORTS, at Park Rynie have decided to provide their visitors to Rocky Bay Caravan Park and Lodge with yet another activity that they can partake in whilst visiting ROCKY BAY RESORTS by providing a cycling trail on Ellingham Estate farm, which is adjacent to Rocky Bay Resorts.

The trails consist of a 35km trail, with two shorter trails (17km and 27km) within the 35km trail.

The 35k trail is not for novices riders (All trails have single track sections)

All the trails start at Rocky Bay and head onto the private property of Ellingham Estate farm and loop back to the end at Rocky Bay.  To start, the first 5 to 6 km’s is on farm roads and jeep tracks.)  Thereafter it becomes a combination of jeep tracks and single track through cane fields and indigenous bush, while the last 5km’s is downhill with awesome views of the ocean as you descend down to the coast and back to Rocky Bay.

There will be NO CHARGE, but to help with the upkeep of the trail and the control of alien plants, we have placed an HONESTY BOX at the start and donations will be greatly appreciated.

Accommodation:  Rocky Bay Resorts consists of a caravan park (166 campsites all within 200m of the beach and 27 self-catering log cabins (2/4/6 sleepers), as well as an upmarket 12-sleeper apartment.  Come down to Rocky Bay Resorts with the family and enjoy some MTB riding, swimming, fishing, snorkelling, diving or just relax and take a break at the beach.
