Round 3 of the GM KZN Series took part at the Cascades track in PMB. The course was short fast and dry resulting in quick times and close finishes.

Patrick Morewood and Richard Carter of Morewood Bikes were there as well sipping down some cold ones and making noise. It was a great day with … Read More »

Round 2 of the regional series went down at the Worlds View track this last weekend…

Slightly better weather on the same track that everyone raced on 2 weeks ago. Greg Minnaar raced again, Tim Bentley was fast, Motocrosser Justin Cope is adapting real quick but most impressive was Tiaan Odendaals 3rd overall less than 4 seconds off the winners (Minnaar) time. A real low key kind of guy but very fast. Fox/Morewood rider Travis Browning making a comeback after slaming his hand and breaking his knuckle a few weeks ago. Good to see him back on it. All and all … Read More »

Morewood rider Fabien Cousinie took part in the Megavalanche Reunion Race recently and this is what he had to say:

Hi guys

Here is some fresh news from the Réunion Island Megavalanche race.
For the last race of the season i finished 5th on the podium. “the machine ” Wildhaber won the race and some Enduro specialist and XC guys were in front of me.
I’m pretty glad because the race was so hard technicaly and physicaly and everybody was using enduro bikes 6inch travel and i used my makulu with a single pivot fork… not really my first choice but at the … Read More »

When I saw the images of the route on the CPT website , it was too much to resist. Sure, according to traditional periodisation and old school training regimen, you should be resting at this time of year… but this year has been a bit different for me. And sometimes you just have to follow your heart ! Besides – we do it for the love of biking man ! Who can resist riding in such splendour !??

I rode with Donovan “Powerhouse” Jackson. If you were born anytime in the 70’s or earlier, you will recall a clothing brand with … Read More »

The weekend was wrapped up with Peaty taking Gold. The course was super rocky and filled with buck jumps with lines continuously changing as practice wore on.
After taking a bit of time off to prepare, Nathan came into World Champs having put in a considerable amount of training looking strong and focussed, which paid off in the end. Having a little off during practice, Rennie ended up with eight stiches in his hand and having to do a bit of iceing a few days before race day, but this didnt stop him from pulling in a top 10 result. The … Read More »

With one half of Morewood at Eurobike and the other half at the World Champs in Auz its certainly been a bust week, thankfully due to the time difference the news is coming in during different times of the day making it a little more manageable from a workload point of view to keep a news streams coming.

Pat is across in Canberra Australia for the World Championships taking place this weekend in order to offer additional support to Morewood’s World Cup riders Nathan Rennie and Mitch Delfs, both riding in the Elite Men’s Downhill category for Australia. With custom painted … Read More »

AG Suspansions Clive Ackerman gives us some feedback as to whats happening in Malaysian DH:

Race events in Malaysia have been rather few and far between this year, for a number of reasons, but the 4th installment of the Bukit Cermin Downhill Challenge has fast become a much anticipated event on the racing calendar in South East Asia. With a rider participation topping 160 racers from Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia, this was going to be a good one.
The track has undergone some changes in the last few weeks that have made it faster and more exciting. Word of the changes were … Read More »
