Mountain Biking Events : By Le Grand Fromage Durban Mountain Bike Club DMBC website - http://www.geocities.com/dmbc_2000/ KZNMBA website - http://www.geocities.com/kznmba/ News You can get one from Social Sue on Saturday if you haven't already. A DMBC tee shirt of course. Nothing in the post. Remember to ride the 7km of mtb-specific technical singletrack at Stainbank nature reserve in Yellowwood Park sometime soon (before we add some really big jumps). This section was not open when Ashley Nesbitt wrote the article which appears in the latest Ride Magazine, but his comments about the sweet s/t apply. (If all the copies of Ride seem to have been bought up, ask Andy Clemmow to let you look at one of his).
or Shongweni Hillbillies ride from the Polo grounds in Shongweni at 2-00pm for 2-30pm. Contact Mark 083 263 6595 if there are any queries.
Please park under the trees on the left side of
the clubhouse and not near the stables - the members feel that we are taking
all the parking away.
Venue: Karkloof Country Club Registration: 6:30am If you haven't entered yet, there is a late entry fee that is guaranteed to make you enter early next year. R85 late entry fee for 65km, R65 for 35km. Late entry is R30, not R20 as reported in The Witness (possibly KZN's most bike-friendly newspaper - Karkloof is possibly KZN's most expensive mtb race). Entries on www.sa-active.co.za until Tuesday 8 May cost R50 (65km) and R35 (35km). 10km race is entry on the day only. (No late entry fee !!). The Karrimor Karkloof Classic is KZN�s largest Mountain bike event (mostly farm and forestry road - not a very technical course at all). In 2000 it attracted nearly 1000 participants in three events. It is a slickly organised affair, and prizes and prizemoney are always top notch. A great atmosphere at the Karkloof Country Club, which is used for registration, start and finish and prizegiving. Ablutions, food, and entertainment The 35 km event is a challenging and extremely scenic option for those not wanting to tackle the Classic, and the 10 km fun ride should keep the rest of the family happy!
