Dura Cycles News Letter



Well it's the first ever Dura-Cycles Cycling Club news letter so here goes...


Firstly welcome to Dura-Cycles we sincerely hope that it gives you all that you are looking for in friendships and cycling. We welcome any feed back, articles, Photographs etc. 


This month has seen and is seeing a lot of road cycling, mountain biking and triathlon action with the club representation right up there. Congratulations must go to Cale and Amber Lindecke for their consistent podium finishes as well as Aaron Wood. Aaron's Dad had a podium finish as well but was racing the children!!!! - aahh well I suppose you have to start some where.  Our very own Brandon Venter scooped a first over all at the Ingeli Dhag beating off Beat really stiff competition - Excellent Bob keep it going.


The Epic boys and a girl have really put in some S.E.R.I.O.U.S training we wish Liz, Brett and Hector all the best. It was great to see Team Burry Stander Songo taking the honors at the prologue yesterday. Well done boys we hope you take it all the way home for Burry.


Yes we are national with Cody and Jenna Sullivan taking the prizes and positions up in Gauteng, well done you guys we are proud of you.


Siya Mpofana experienced his first Cape Argus this month and proudly announced his time to the world - we feel, personally that he got lost..... But at least he was happy with his time... Only joking Siya well done and glad that you enjoyed the experience.

Saying of the month :

After your first day of cycling, one dream is inevitable.  A memory of motion lingers in the muscles of your legs, and round and round they seem to go.  You ride through Dreamland on wonderful dream bicycles that change and grow.  ~H.G. Wells, The Wheels of Chance



see you in the dirt.......smiling
