The launch at B'sorah Trails went down like a Helium balloon. No matter how warm the weather got, the riders couldn't get enough of the trails - repeating them over and over right up until the midday heat set in. It's a good thing we only used the closest, shorter lines for the launch. Well done to everyone.
Mattie Viviers took the ladies crown while Bradon Webster powered his way around a number of times to be the fastest guy on the day! Both of them won an annual permit. Great stuff!
Our youngest rider Liam Marnewick (7) had an amazing day out completing the full route twice with his very patient mom, Kelly Marnewick - who then went out and set her own times in the heat of the day. Liam also managed to grab a month permit in the lucky draw. Watch out for this young shredder in the coming years!
The initial Strava times are now set. It's open season for all challengers even if you only want to race to better yourself. We've compiled the times from the launch. If your name is missing it is likely that you either left early, didn't run Strava or there was some other technical issue which we'll be happy to remedy if you contact us. We are confident that the fastest 3 are correct.
I'd like to thank everyone who had a hand in this project. Anton Blignaut who had the concept of adding some fun lines into B'sorah's trails and who was there every weekend working hard - building, creating and fixing. To Nicholas Durr and family as they trusted us, assisted with labour, equipmant and building materials. And to my wife Maureen who supported every step of the way and who was there almost every weekend building alongside us. The reason she wasn't in more photos and vids was because she was usually behind the camera. Also to the sponsors of the launch Cycles United: Melo Velo Cycles & Finish Line Cycles.
Lastly to all the riders who have ridden and who will ride these trails because you're the ones who will make it a success.
