Mazarat a new venue for Provincial XCO in March

25 February 2016 – The second round of the 2016 KZNMTB Provincial XCO Series takes place at a new venue this year – Mazarat MTB Park – in Waterfall on Saturday 5 March. KZNMTB saw a fantastic turn out at the first round, which took place at the forests of Hilton earlier this month. This venue will be a first for the Provincial series, as Mazarat is a brand new track.

Duane Stander from Concept Cyclery Waterfall, who has been hard at work building the track, is looking forward to the weekend of solid XCO racing at the new venue. "The venue is at the local Mazarat farm, which is an absolutely beautiful place. It's lovely and green, and a wonderful little stream flowing through the property, and even some horses. It's just such a great setting," he said.

In terms of the course, Stander mentioned that it would be a four-kilometre loop of mountain bike trails with lots of exciting sections to look forward to. "There's a nice big climb, great bridge crossing, and awesome rock gardens," he added.

The Mazarat MTB Park also plays host to XCO time trials every Wednesday evening for local riders to come and test their off-road pedal skills against the clock.

"Its also great for the local riders around the Hillcrest, Gillitts and Pinetown areas to come along and ride in a great, safe venue such as this one," he added.

Stander mentioned that it was a goal to have more cyclists coming to the park to enjoy the facilities in the safe environment. Developments such as this will ultimately nurture young talent and further grow the sport of mountain biking in the province.

Round two of the 2016 KZNMTB Provincial XCO Series – takes place Mazarat MTB Park, Waterfall on Saturday 5 March. Entries are open and close on Wednesday 2 March 2016. Enter here: (https://www.roag.co.za/online-entries.aspx?EventID=1732).

Riding on the road

Hi All,

We at Dura Cycles have been receiving comments and complaints of late about cyclists on the road. It is in all of our best interests to obey all traffic rules and ride single file at all times. Let’s do our bit to keep the motorist happy and hopefully they will be courteous to us and we can all live in harmony. If we skip robots, ride two or three abreast etc. we just make the motorist cross and in the end we as the cyclist will always come off 2^nd best.

Also, always ride with front and rear lights on your bike. Even during the day. It just helps to make you more visible to the motorists and keeps you safer.

Let all pull together and make this work.

Regards

The Dura Cycles Team
