Sweet tap by Heja Lodge se Sky Ride

Bergfietsry
Andrew Poolman
Drikus Coetzee het nie van die wenpad afgedwaal nie, toe hy laas naweek die nuwe voor­loper onder die elite mans in die Hollard Gravel & Dirt bergfietsreeks geword het.

Saterdag se Sky Ride by Heja Lodge was die sewende van die agt byeenkomste in die reeks.

Vanweë die heuwelagtige roete is dit reeds bekend as waarskynlik die strafste eendaagse wedren op die plaas­like kalender. Voeg hierby dat dit nogal 'n warm dag vir die wintertyd was en die 70 km afstand was nog 'n entjie moeiliker.

Nogtans het deelnemers in goeie getalle ingeskryf vir die fietsry-afdelings, asook vir die veldwedloop vir diegene wat die 5 km of 10 km te voet wou takel.

Coetzee se oorwinning het hom op die puntelys voor die afwesige Xavier Papo geplaas. Tweede by die wenpaal verby was André de Klerk, 'n man wat eintlik as 'n Rhino kon inskryf wat meer as 90 kg weeg.

Die 70 km vroueresies is deur Michelle Vorster gewen wat op merkwaardige wyse algeheel derde oor die eindstreep gery het. Op die reeks se puntelys het sy haar derde posisie agter die voorlopers Irene Steyn en Michelle Döman verstewig met nog een byeenkoms wat oorbly.

Die Gravel & Dirt reeks se agtste en laaste wedren sal op 16 September die Gobabis MTB Challenge by Goba Lodge wees. Steyn se bykomende punte laas naweek verseker dat sy nie meer uit die eerste plek in die reeks gehaal kan word nie, terwyl Coetzee ook basies net in die toptien sal moet klaarmaak om bo twyfel as reekswenner verseker te word.
