Willem Montgomery, team coordinator, said the race was well planned with beautiful scenery and everyone was at their posts, from emergency units to traffic control.

“The hard training of the team paid off. They each completed the race in good times receiving a medal.

“Except for a few punctures, no injuries were reported and the team look forward to the next competition.”

The members of the club who participated were André Duminy, Derek Rieck, Hope Tyira, Johan Pretorius, Juanita Prins, Carine Duminy, Bev Rieck, Nicole Duminy and Helgaard Prins.
