One phone call to Gareth Britz from Barons VW, and he managed to organise us a VW 1.9 TDI Touran which was more than capable of hauling the five man team and their kit to and from the track everyday. Besides being whacked by a speeding camera, we all really enjoyed driving the vehicle and had to play rock, paper, scissors before each trip to see who got to drive.

With excellent customer service and quality vehicles, I suggest you go and pay them a vsit, or check out what they have to offer on their official site: www.baronsvwpmb.co.za

This saw a lot of international riders entering the event to gain practise and course time.

Conditions were dry and the track was well loose, with a steep section to begin with, leading into a long peddling section in the middle and finishing on the 4x track at the bottom. There was a domination of Morewood bikes with some of the countries best flying the Morewood flag- to name a few - Jonty Neethling, Gary Barnard, Pierre “Prime Time” Vandermerwe, Tim Bentley, Myles Kelsey, Vicky Phillips and many more. We seem to see a Morewood domination happening in SA and its tagging on pretty fast worldwide!

After a day’s hard work, with health and safety risks, shaky scaffolding and plenty of frustrating moments, the home of Morewood bikes finally has a label.
