The hub for marathon mountain biking
Three Marathons in three weeks. It’s a tough call – but it’s far from being too hard. Take a look at the European Marathon season, and those things are rammed into a pretty tight calendar – especially when you throw a few multi-day Stage Races in there too. But when you combine greater distances to […]
The Ingkerreke Commercial Mountain Bike Enduro is only weeks away from hitting the reinvigorated mountain bike trails around Alice Springs and the MacDonnell Ranges, with an eclectic bunch of riders set to compete in the multi-day, multi-stage race. The seven stage event has as always attracted everyone from top tier riders to those simply out […]
Of the races on my 2012 calendar, the Convict 100 was the one I was looking forward to most. A good part of my mtb specific training is done on the old convict trail and being familiar with the course is worth plenty. The single loop nature of the course makes it virtually impossible to […]
Kevin Evans and David George debuted in spectacular fashion at the third annual Old Mutual joBerg2c, taking five stage wins en route to overall victory at Scottburgh main beach on Saturday. The Nedbank 360Life duo, who won the African leader jersey at the recent Absa Cape Epic, conquered both their rivals and the nine-day, 910km […]
As I’ve alluded to previously, the Convict 100 (previously the Dirt Works 100) is my local Marathon. The trails in it are similar to those around me in the Northern Suburbs of Sydney, and it’s close enough to drive to from home on the day – albeit with a horribly early start time. In part, […]
Kevin Evans and David George of Nedbank 360Life enjoyed a bittersweet triumph on the penultimate day of the Old Mutual joBerg2c as they dedicated their fifth stage win on Friday to the memory of friend and former national rider Juan van Heerden. “He was a talented cyclist and a good guy who battled depression for […]
For the past two years, mountain bike evergreen Christoph Sauser has been able to clinch the Craft Bike Trans Germany. With around a month to go before the sixth edition of the mountain bike stage race, the reigning champion from Sigriswil, Switzerland, has announced: “I’m going for the three-peat.” Few would bet against the 36-year-old […]
The New South Wales central west city of Orange turned up beautiful autumnal colours and perfect conditions for the opening round of the SRAM Singletrack Mind Series on 29 April. The first event of the six round series saw a high quality field of 280 riders line up for the 7 hour enduro format event […]
I’m not quite sure how this happened, like so many things in my life it just did. In a few days I am going to be ensconced in a Women’s National Road Series tour at Salt (Tweed Heads, NSW). The Battle on the Border is an annual 4 stage road race taking place over 3 […]
Kevin Evans and David George had more than winning on their minds as they extended their already comfortable overall lead to almost nine minutes on day six of the nine-day Old Mutual joBerg2c on Wednesday. The Nedbank 360Life riders were racing for a greater purpose as they sealed their third stage victory in 3:17:13 on […]
