Great to hear the young blood rider's are working hard and growing. ....and giving the ou toppies a bit of a run for their money.

 

Can only mean good things for the future of th in S.A.

I thought Greg was giving the locals a chance. It would be poor form obliterating the opposition in an event that you sponsored...

Awesome to see so many riders! Well done guys and gals

Greg is such an inspiration to the riders.  He took the time out of his busy schedule to race.

Such a great weekend of riding! Thanks to all of those people who put the time and effort in to make it happen 

Venue was great, tracks were great, timing was great etc, etc

 

The DH was absolutely awesome to watch (after my run) and those top 5 are on another level!

 

Good times!

You've got the Senior Men's names mixed up... 

 

Or KZN MTB did anyway, assuming this a copy and paste article...

This just in, Minnaar sacked by the Syndicate. To ride out his contract as Peaty's beer assistant.

Don't see the error, Christopher Philogene is a Junior.

Tiaans time. It was listed as Christophers 1:29.45 at first (still like this on the KZN MTB page where the article was copied from). It's been amended here since my comment.

 

Edit: I can see the confusion - I was referring to times against the names, not meaning Tiaans name was incorrect and should be Christopher  .

Never been so bummed in missing an event...just to ride with the legend would have been a highlight in my none featuring mtb career.... what a way to kick off the kzn season....im sure its going to be a cracker

[nigelhicks]

Actually. All the elites can suck it ... because according to the media release. Peter Hoyer in MASTER men had the best time. ... 1:26.97 .... WOW. That is amazing for a 55 year old ballies who started racing 5 years ago.
