Carnival Macsteel Race - "Riders bring home the Silverware"
Race – Carnival Macsteel National Classic Sunday 28th Feb 2010
The Carnival Macsteel race day started off being quite cool despite the later start. From the rapid start down the R554, the race swung southwards, down the R103 towards Suikerbossie. After a left turn taking the cyclists into the wind, the race climbed towards the Nigel four-way stop. Since the Dis-chem Ride for Sight last week, the many pot holes on this section had been filled in. Thank you! Thank you!.
At the four-way stop, the 103km riders turned south while the 65km riders turned north. Hope you weren’t one of those unlucky cyclists who took the wrong turn in the heat of the moment. This was a fast race and the bunches held together well.
After a quick descent into Heidelberg, the 103km riders battled into the wind to Nigel. By now the day had warmed up considerably and when the race turned to climb the “Steps” passed Duduza, the wind was behind the sweating riders and the heat was on.
Turning again at the four-way stop, the race notched up a gear as it sped up the R23 to the finish at Carnival City.
Attie Duvenage came second in the VB category.
Other club riders in the VB category were Stephen Scheepers - 5th, Gerhard Wessels – 12th, Marius Stevens 13th, Adriaan Beukes 15 th , Frikkie Viljoen 20th, Willie Swanepoel 21st and Craig de Wet – 23rd. Arnim Venter finished 18th in the VA category. Well done to you all! (Article by Duncan !)
