MTB team shows appreciation

The Hoërskool Lydenburg MTB team recently celebrated a successful year with a year-end spare rib festival hosted by Laramie Spur.

Corrie Kleyn and his team have supported the school’s team with delicious and nutritious meals throughout the year and a special thanks from the team goes out to Spur for the pasta evening the week before they left for the Spur School Series National championships as well as the lunch boxes on the day they travelled to Magaliesberg.

“Thank you Corrie. Your staff has treated us like champs,” the team said. It has been an exciting year with racescontested almost every month. The season kicked off in January with the MTN Barberton race and the team are now preparing for the upcoming Alzu race on November 9 in Middelburg.

According to the team their biggest success was competing in the Mpumalanga leg of the Spur School series, where the school came second and thus was able to take 14 riders to the Spur School National Championships in Magaliesberg in September. Three of the Hoërskool Lydenburg’s riders represented the Mpumalanga team, with one rider finishing first overall in his category. “We look forward to the 2014 season which starts middle January.”

Look out for the riders while they train during the holidays, because with the enthusiasm the team displays it seems there is nothing stopping these cycle junkies.
