Team SL

Hekpoort climb is always regarded as the make or break point on the 114km circuit. A few years back i was seconding the vets 30+ race and my rider David Labuschagne broke his shoe shortly after starting the race. He asked me to give him his "nike air" tackie and so i did, changed shoe and kept on racing. Approaching Hekpoort i thought his race would be over as the climb with a tackie would be too difficult, wrong he broke away and left the bunch in there tracks and he and his brother took 1st and 2nd. What a great day for the Cyclelab Vets 30+ Team Found the photo's

Dirt rider, for your R 30-00 bucks you will get 3 beers at Vori-Berg

When we started the Vori-Berg MTB races we decided to break with the tradition of a medal. The fist few races we handed out a pair of Vori-Berg branded socks, we then moved onto water bottles. The wheel has now turned once again and we had various requests asking if we could provide a medal. The result is that we now offer a medal or water bottle to all finishers. I also have a box full of medals that i collected over the years. The company that provides our medals also had the contract to provide the medals for all the riders of the Tour De France 2010. I was able to get my hands on one of these and is being well used as a paper weight as it is quite heavy. Will try an post some pics

Try Justin at sportsvision.co.za, also a hubber

Hi all dirt lovers. I am sure that there are quiet a few of us that also follow the action on the road. We will be leaving the Vori-Berg venue on saturday at 8h00 and cover sections of our race route to take us to the KOM category where the tour will pass and photo's can be taken. This should be a 30km trail out and back where after we can have a couple of drinks and braai. For further info contact me on Cell: 082 903 4211 or mail clivedhardy@gmail.com Cheers Clive

Kletterer, I know this is way late but missed this topic when it started. All results will be on www.waterpoint.co.za. Cheers clive

Mix, I dont think you will die, You did the 20km at Redstone, you will definately finish the 30km at Vori-Berg. The first 5km is uphill with decents in between. The elevation is +- 170m over this distance. Look forward to welcoming you here for a most enjoyable day out on the bike and a cold one thereafter Have a look at www.waterpoint.co.za for photo's and results of the previous races Cheers Clive

This Pinarello Treviso SL has been with me since i started cycling in the late 80's She sure does need some attention to restore her to the original condition when bought in in 1989 for a whopping R 5500-00. The little cuplprit "tweety" who was responsible for removing the handle bar tape.
