After only the second year of its official existence, Maritzburg College
Cycling is making encouraging headway as a young sport. The club is
strong and shows tremendous potential.
The club activity, infrastructure and finances have evolved considerably
during the course of the year. College cyclists are transported to a venue
for training rides twice a week and to a race every weekend, where all
race entry fees are paid for by the club in full. We would like to extend our
sincere gratitude to our main sponsor, Business Driven Network Solutions
(BDNS), and Mr Tyrol Mitchell (Hilton Construction) for making the bicycle
trailer available to us. Without their generous support we would certainly
not be able to give our boys all the opportunities that they enjoy.
Overall, College achieved the following outstanding results in the three
major 2016 KZN Interschool Series: 2nd in the Junior Eliminator series,
2nd in the Spur Inter-school series and 2nd in the Quattro ROAG series.
