The FRC community came together for a wonderful weekend, highlighted by the 3 Province ride, which kicked off at the club house. The ride consisted of three legs, the first being a 54km stretch finishing in Parys, followed by a 52km leg to Potchefstroom, where cyclists rested at The Road Lodge. Despite the challenges posed by the wind on Mother's Day during the final leg, the cyclists showed remarkable resilience and determination. A big thank you is extended to the organizers and supporters who made the event possible. Well done to FRC athletes who completed various distances at the Cradle race and to those undertaking final training runs for Comrades, with one month remaining.

The RMB Ultra-trail Drakensberg - RMB UTD 100 Miler was a great training opportunity for Cornel Metcalfe towards her UTMB Mont-Blanc preparation. Two solid nights out on the course with icy cold weather conditions up in high altitude conditions with steep inclines and declines. These are just some of the conditions she will encounter in August.
