Last weekend was the very popular Karkloof Trail Blazer up in Karkloof hills. There has been a huge effort in the trails in the area and the track on offer has some of the best tricky single track SA Mountain biking has to offer. The 45km was well represented and some great athletes were on the start line. With a Gradual start up a farm road and into some awesome single track the pressure was starting to mount. With Craig Paul leading us into the single track after hitting a corner a bit to quick took a dive but managed to land on his feet. However, in a close second was Justin Porteous who after pushing a bit to hard slid out on a slippery corner and face planted a tree. Because it was still early on in the ride there was a large lead bunch so Justin had to fight his way back to the front, which he did and was able to out sprint Darryn Purtell to the line to take second place. Darryn third and Evan Van Der Spuy 4th. The hard training is paying off. Well done Bundu's.
Saturday morning ride was great fun. With the feverX MTB challenge just around the corner, we thought it would be a good idea to show the rider’s whats install for them, having rain the day before it was still pretty slippery and proved to be challenging on our awesome new single track. Well done to the social group who has claimed victory over Thelma's hill. The race is happening on the 19 December 2010. You can enter on www.roag.co.za The first 200 entries get a Feverx shirt as well as a Goody bag, so get your entries in to avoid disappointment. This Thursday we will be having road time trial at Uvongo Pier at 4:15pm. Come and set a time to beat or try beat your previous time.
Saturday morning ride leaving Dura Cycles 6:30am.With no Road group there will still be the usual 3 MTB Groups. Everyone welcome.
God Bless
