Cyclists take on new MTB trail in Scottburgh
Tayne Rudling claimed top honours in a competitive field.
Scottburgh was abuzz with adrenaline as cyclists from across the province descended on Crocworld Conservation Centre to compete in the 3rd leg of the Provincial XCO Series on March 29.
Riders took to the purpose-built trail network extending from the centre, with Tayne Rudling claiming top honours in a competitive field.
“It was an absolute cracker of an event,” said Jason Scott of Badger’s Cycling and Sports Centre.
“We were a bit nervous hosting our first race here, but everything went off without a hitch. What we’re seeing is the perfect symbiosis – Crocworld is fast becoming a leading outdoor destination on the KZN South Coast. This is just the beginning, and we’ve got incredible momentum behind us.”
Top 10 results in the 3rd leg of Provincial XCO Series are as follows:
1 Tayne Rudling
2 Brent Richter
3 Cameron Mackridge
4 Cade Smith
5 Kayden Searle
6 Cody Maidman
7 Matthew Holloway
8 Luke Pretorius
9 Ryan Storm
10 Blake Wright
The XCO event is just the first of many with the next major race, the Renishaw Solstice Race, set for June 20, expected to draw even more riders to the region. This is a combination of mountain biking and trail running, with entries available on Race Pass.
