Lourensford and William Simpson

Posted on 21st October 2008 by mtbguy in Uncategorized

Finally, I get to write about these 2 events:

Lourensford was really great ( and hard..)
On the day we had no rain, thank goodness. We did however have to ride in very wet conditions most of the way. Fun it was though. Lots of muddy waters, stream crossings and chain suck.
The 60km took us all the way to the top and down again at about 30km, only to go all the way up again.
Besides the long uphills and water, what really got me was the 4 bee stings!
At one section along the route there were a number of beehives. On one downhill section, some-one must’ve kicked over one of the beehives. When a couple of us then passed there, the bees were in full-on attack mode.
4 beestings while still having to consider a major uphill can really dampen the spirit.
Anyway, it was great all in all and I WILL do it again!

William Simpson Paul Cluver event:

The most single track I’ve done in a very long time. The route ( 52km) was very well marked and great mountainbiking.
The scenery was great while riding through the trees and the fields in the first loop of the figure 8 and mostly through a pine forest in the second loop.
Once again, great riding and an event not to be missed next year.
