The course was short fast and dry resulting in quick times and close finishes. There was a strong Morewood presence at the event as we had Morewood United Team rider Florent Payet #62 out from France, Morewood Design Engineer Fabien Lemasson #59, Sales and Marketing Manager Kyle Gifford #10 and Fox/Morewood Rider Travis Browning #4 all taking part, flying the flag. 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 loads of spectators, quick times and dust made!

Jislaaik!

Hot hot hot. We have been having some crazy weather lately – racing in this kind of heat takes some skill to keep dehydration and heat stroke at bay yet still ride at a respectable pace!

The DCM boys were flying this weekend – Brandon and Rourke put in a solid attack on lap 1 (of 9) to stay ahead the entire race.

Andrew Warr (Spider), Andrew Hill (Mountain Man), Carl Calverly and myself had a lekker ding dong. It was lekker throwing the bike around with the okes – KZN racing is fun. We are really lucky to have our own “Swiss Power Cup” here in Natal! The juniors were crushing it too… great to see such a deep local talent pool emerging. A little birdie told me that we may have the World Cup back in PMB in 2011 !? :-)

Brandon won the Elites, myself second and Carl 3rd.

Teammate Jeremy Thompson (JT) won the vets by a convincing 3 min – good job JT !
Julian Jessop – team Thule – came 2nd in the Sub Juniors
Thomas Jessop – team Thule – won the Sprogs

A great weekend by the Thule-Morewood team. Well done guys!
