South African Olympic cyclist Burry Stander was killed on January 3, 2013 when he was struck by a minibus taxi while training in Shelly Beach.

Weather permitting, cyclists will leave on their bikes from the Burry Stander Bike Park, inland from Umtentweni.

It will be about a 60 minute ride, and cyclists are urged to bring their own drinks.

The ride will include the famous ‘Mushroom Hill’ – one of Burry’s favourite places to really push himself in training.
