It all happened to me when I jumped on the seat and became one with my bike. Nothing else around you matters at that time as you are in a world of your own. I share a passion for cycling and encourage you to join me on my journey in 2012, riding in colours of BMC. its going to be a very exciting year!!

African Continental XCO Championships


The African Continental XCO Championships took place in KZN at Cascades MTB Park.
 


 

Looked forward to racing the African Champs this weekend and we had a good strong line-up of women on the start line which was great. The course for the XCO course was set to test all the abilities of the riders, which then test each rider individually and it pushes you as a rider.
 

Standing on the start line ready to race we all looked over our shoulders and saw these grey clouds coming and knew that we were in for another muddy race. Therefore resulting in all of us laughing as there was nothing that we could do and we were going to go have fun in the mud once again!

 
 

With the mud conditions one needs to learn how to react with the sliding around of the bike and how to control it, after you’ve fallen the first few times you learn quite quickly how to manage your bike more appropriately.

Well done to everyone that competed in the African Champs!! There was some great racing!! Was great supporting and watching all the different disciplines (XCE, XCO, DH) 

 
 
 












Thank you to everyone for all the support, it means soo much to the rider especially when they out there racing. One can never have too many people shouting for them J

Next on the calendar is EUROPE, pretty excited about that!!

Xxx
