Report from Johan Reyneke

Nelsons Creek 3 day MTB Challence 12,13 & 14 Sept

DAY1 65km

With the weather wet windy and muddy, i thought anybody doing this race must be very into MTB racing OR mad!! Normally these powerful 100% max heartrate first day starts can demoralise a person, with a field of top riders added... sjoe (Jaques Rossouw, Petrus Malherbe, Erik Kleinhans to name a few..) i ended amongst the to 10 and trusted the next day would be better.. normally like that.

DAY 2 85km

Hey... i had good legs!! and kept 5th position until i was directed onto the shorter route by wrongly discriptive arrows and a marshall as well!!... the cyclists behind me tried to call me back but they said i was motoring at such a pace into nowhere.... i was dissapointed and sad, the chap behind me finished 5th!

DAY 3 80km

this was a better racing day, myself and yesterdays buddy kept close to the front 4pack and i finished 5th. all in all a good race, and good preperation for the Oudtshoorn 3 day mtb race and the 180 degree Cederberg race

Johan Reyneke

start and we were very impressed with the assistance and willingness off the
Pedal Power Ass to be part of our arrangements. a BIG Thanks you guys !!!











We rode against a terrible wind through Rawsonville and then turned towards Worcester, turned onto the Villiesdorp road, turned of towards Robinson and completed the circle via Nuy back to the finish!
