A group of six cyclists in colorful jerseys and helmets stand smiling under a yellow frame labeled "Alzu Petroport, South Africa," with a vast, sunny landscape in the background.
Alzu is gewild by Middelburg bergfiets ryers as omdraaipunt wanneer hulle die grondpaaie aandurf. Middelburg Fietsryklub se Herman Grobler, Retha Calitz, Maggie, Simoné en Johnny Smit en Kobie Groenewald het die naweek Alzu toe en terug gery. FOTO: Verskaf.

Renosters, buffels en bergfietse!
Sit buffels, renosters en goeie plaaspaaie bymekaar en jy het ’n bergfiets roete waarvan mens kan droom.
Dit is presies wat Alzu bied.
Die petroport, regs langs die N4, is bekend vir sy bergfietswedren in November, maar daar is nou nog beter nuus.

Mekka van bergfiets- en gruis wedrenne

Op 25 Julie word ’n 100 myler (160 kilometer) Mpumalanga-gruispad wedren hier aangebied.
Dit vestig Middelburg as mekka van bergfiets- en gruis wedrenne, net soos Rooiwal die mekka is vir padfietse.

Losstaande renreeks

Die organiseerders sê “die 100 Myler-reeks is ’n losstaande renreeks, nie deel van die Grit-reeks nie, maar dra elke stukkie van dieselfde gees. ’n Honderd myl wat alles wat jy het, sal toets en jou na meer sal laat verlang.”
Daar is ook ’n 50 myl opsie beskikbaar.
