Muddy Mankele Mayhem!

The recent heavy rains leading up to this weekend didn’t deter the nearly 50 die hard Mountain Bikers that descended upon Mankele Mountain Biking in Sudwala for the Inaugural Mankele Avalanche race.

Billed as a Downhill race for everyone, the field were treated to 3 separate, mostly downhill, single track courses that took in all the best trails that Mankele has become Nationaly famouse for, from fast flowing ‘bush tunnels’ to tricky rock sections and steep drops, it was all there.

The Joburg riders pitched up with all manner of specialist downhill machinery but at the end of the day it was the skill and fitness of 2 of our local riders that shone, Mark Mayer from Mankele itself used homeground advantage to blitz the opposition on every run.

Mark was closely shadowed by Dricus Pretorius who gave it all, and some blood, to his cause! Joburg stalwart Ryszard Rozanki came third in the overall mens with the ladies dominated by Elja Van Urk with Geraldine Van Tromp in second and Maureen Gleeson third.

It was wet, it was slippery but it was awesome with strong competition and great racing all round!
