GERRIT SHINES IN LOGICO SWAZI FAMILY MTB CYCLE FESTIVAL

MALKERNS – Despite local cyclist Thulani Gule’s tough competition to South Africa’s Gerrit Withaar, the latter was the eventual winner.

This was during the second edition of the Logico Swazi Family Mountain Bike Cycle Festival  held at Malkerns Country Club yesterday.
The visiting cyclist stormed into the finish line in 3:18:30 hours while Adventure Sports’ Thulani Gule came close on 3:26:20 hours. The duo was level after the 60km but the South African had a good finish-up in the last 15km of the main race which was 75km.

Coming third was 21-year-old Sifiso Mhlanga on 3:50:00 hours while William Kelly came fourth on 3:56:00 hours with Collin Lovely completing the overall top five bracket on 3:58:10 hours.
Noteworthy, these are positions in overall category without the age-grade. By the time of compiling this report, final results and presentations on age-grade had not been released.

Another highlight is that only one lady joined the 75km category and Retha Harding managed to come ninth in the overall category on 4:30:00 hours.
In the second biggest race, the 46km Ayanda Dlamini emerged as the winner after clocking at an impressive 2:06:00 hours while Jeremy Boyd was runner-up in 2:31:19 hours.
