OFF ROAD CHAMPIONSHIPS

TOUR DE COLLEGE - 2013

PHOTO: Michael Wolhuter on his 85cc

Michael Wolhuter, Tristan Usherwood and Callum Symons
travelled to Port Elizabeth for the third round of the SA Junior
National Off Road Championships.
They achieved some pleasing results with Michael Wolhuter
winning the Senior  85cc senior class - in his first ever race at
National level - Tristan Usherwood finishing 3rd and Callum
Symons 4th in the 125cc class.   

The second annual Tour
de College MTB lap race
was a great success. Although the field of riders
was smaller this year, the
race certainly lived up to it’s
expectations in terms of fun.
Teams of two were invited
to enter and to complete
as many laps as possible
in the allotted three hours.
The track was contained
within the school grounds
and was rated as “quite
technical” by many of the
riders. With 3.6km of track
winding through corridors,

down stairs, over a floating bridge at the swimming pool, up and over
an 18-wheeler Mercedes
truck trailer, round the
fields, down the banks and
through the switch-backs
on the terraces, riders thoroughly enjoyed the various
challenges along the route.
The winning team managed to complete 18 laps
of the course with the second place team following closely behind and
also completing 18 laps.
Our grateful thanks to
sponsors Hatton’s Cycles,

Warehouse,

“Tour de College 2014” will
be even bigger and better!
