The KZN Mountain Bike Lap Challenge Series hosted by Amanzimtoti Cycle Club certainly left an impression on riders on Sunday, 23 February.
The track, cited as being a tough, but thor-oughly enjoy-able, saw some of KZN’s biggest names taking part.
The club’s Marlene Elsip said, “ACC’s very own Hendrik Bester managed a respectable seventh place in the elite batch. The biggest draw card for the spectators was, of course, the Gauche Air Floating Bridge. Gauche Air also donated a cash prize to the one and only rider to fall on the bridge.”
The cycling club is now looking forward to what is coming up.
