The lion is ready to roar

Riders gear up for Kwambo Lion.

IT is nearly time to get those gears rotating as the third race in the Bell Big Five MTB Series approaches in three weeks’ time on Sunday, 19 July.

The tried and tested route of the Build It Kwambo Lion will test rider and machine as they take on the forests in the area.

But do not take it too easy, as track designer, John Swaine and his team will surely throw the odd curved ball to keep you on your toes.

The 50km race starts at the Kwambo Club (GPS co-ordinates S28 35.981 E32 04.731) at 8.30am.

They will be followed by the 25km riders at 9am, the timed 10km riders at 9.30am and the untimed 10km riders taking up the back of the field at 9.35am.

The co-director of the race is Mike Browne (083 6319582) who is ably assisted by coordinator Rusty Barnes (082 8881108).

Riders can enter online with ROAG or on the day between 6am and 8am.
